Now, it's hopefully true that devices with firmware written after 2010 or so will be okay.
But how many cars are out there with vehicular GPS units with firmware older than that???

Some people will follow their GPS right off a bridge or into a river. Let the lawsuits begin.

We keep shooting ourselves in the foot over stuff like this. Apparently, their ‘fix’ isn’t much better, as it will have a rollover issue in a hundred years or so. We really need to start thinking about longer-term timeframes for our technology. If it can’t handle dates 10,000 years into the future, it should be a non-starter.
