Default very random question. In the event of an EMP, how many computers must be replaced

Out of curiosity, in the event of an EMP attack, how many computers in the x308 would have to be replaced in order for it to drive normally again?
Would it just be the main ECU, or also all the little ones, like the key transponder, transmission, etc x 1000?

Electromagnetic Pulse - EMP Myths - futurescience.com

Have a look at the above article. One of several. It is long, however very interesting.

I like the randomness of this question, but I suppose in today’s current climate it’s one worth asking.

In recent polls over here, if you can believe them, nearly half of all republicans want to go to war with NK.

Many people in the US totally believe that we can shoot down any ballistic missile, no matter how many, are coming in.

Over 70% of all people here, according to polls, are worried about war with NK.

Even if the US were able to get in a preemptive strike of some sort how do you take out thousands of artillery pieces scattered who knows where?

Of course we dont have to worry about those over here and I guess many republicans are not worried about anyone living in and around Seoul.

Uh oh just read this: https://www.yahoo.com/news/south-kor...050451653.html
