Default Daylight Savings Time

Could someone please explain to me how when you have GPS in your car to provide location, there isn't two lines of code that would adjust the clocks for daylight savings time if you should find your car in an area of the country that celebrates that sort of thing?

Seriously, it seems like all the information is there, but no one programmed the line to connect the two dots.

I know. Next thing you know, they're going to ask us to unlock our own doors or adjust the HVAC fan by ourselves. Damn, it's getting tough driving a Porsche these days.

Just be grateful they haven't connected the dots between your gps location, the speed limit, and your rev limiter. Yet.

If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear.
