Yeah, same as the ECU and other parts of car computers are shielded from
*external radiation*. Back in the early days of fuel injection, certain
cars had problems driving near or past AM/FM radio towers. A colleague's
Commodore didn't like the towers in (IIRC) Lower Plenty, Vic. The car
would run like a bag of shit until he was sufficiently out of range.
