Urban legend alert!!
I work with new cars all the time in my day job. (technical instructor for
Volvo) I know of no car electronics system that knows the date. This
includes the S80 which is probably the most electronically advanced car on
the road today (18 separate computers all running on a network system, a LAN
on wheels). Since the cars don't know the date they can't have a Y2K
problem.
There wasn't that simple
