Out of date. Should I care?

Chevrolet Cruze, June 17, 2013
This is a bit old, but I've been digging through some old photos and found this one.

This is in in-dash display on a Chevrolet Cruze. (I'd rented the car last year.) Nothing remarkable about it really. Well, apart from the fact that the system date is 10 months behind.

Will this be a problem? What is the car's computer system uses this system date to alert the owner to things like oil changes and other routine maintenance?

It was quite a few years ago that the value of electronics in cars surpassed the value of steel. While steel never goes out of date, is the electronics getting more unreliable every day? The increasing reliance on computers in cars may bring a whole new meaning to the term  "car crash".
