The most fantastic thing in "The Fate of the Furious"

"The Fate of the Furious" is not the movie where you'd expect every event to be theoretically possible in our physical world:

  • The race which is won by driving backwards on a car on fire with later explosion of that car
  • Huge garage of fancy cars (this one is actually totally possible)
  • Fact that Prius (and actually any other car) has API to remotely control it, let alone that every car is connected to the internet
  • Being in Russia during winter without warm hats
  • That electro magnetic pulse has a shock wave
  • That submarine has API and internet access too
  • Skiing on the door, obviously (and the fact that after 3 minutes after being underwater he was completely dry)
  • And a few other things

But for me as for software engineer there is one thing that seems particularly unreal:

  • Software that doesn't hangs, lags, throws errors that package such and such is not compatible with this version of hibernate, requires to update or restart but works smoothly with other software and does exactly what it is supposed to do and everything in real time. And yes, everything has nice graphical interface for a sensor screen tablets.

In real life $125 million space probe was lost because engineers forgot to convert measurements from metric unit to imperial (or vice versa?)
