I sincerely hope that less of this technology gets into cars, because
it's OK when it works, and disastrous when it doesn't.
I've just scrapped a perfectly servable car because some peripheral
electronic component failed and cost more to repair that the car is
worth
I've been there - a $10 part that the main dealer charges £1000 to fit,
and because it was 'electronically keyed' to the engine, independents
can't do it. Another common issue is engine management systems giving
up the ghost, and costing more to buy a new one than the car is worth.
