They need a failsafe system too... meaning low tech visual optics if the computer stuff fails. And the tank needs to be able to operate just as efficiently with a low tech solution.
Heck, I wonder if an EMP would render this system nonfunctional.

All US tanks have been EMP-shielded since the 1950s. Electronics are heavily-shielded. Think nuclear detonation type shielding.
