what the hell have you need snorting this time?!
are you talking about an examiner smart machine? although they dont roll onto a mat unless some irresponsible loony has decided to decorate the workshop floor.

it's true mate i read this aswell, some new fiat models will let the service technician know which parts need replacing via a sensor mat which talks to the car and is able to locate faulty parts
this technology has been around or years,car diagnose themselves........but its not a 100% accurate system & can be easily fooled.
See! I'm not crazy
use common sense, why would a diagnostic machine like the examiner be replaced by a mat? what benefit would there be? the only way this magic mat can diagnose the car is by communicating with the ecu, which the examiner already does, so there would be no benefit, and yet there is the inconveniece of having to use a mat. obviously this would not happen unless the mat could diagnose in another way, and i greatly doubt the mat can scan the car with magic and then decide what the fault is.
as T14086 says self diagnosis has been around for years (about 15 years, since ecu's came along), but this diagnosis has always been based on communicating with the ecu. you dont need a mat to do that.
