Stop making the vehicles so complicated.

Exactly, how did we ever survive before they started putting chips into cars?

The “Technology Trap” is closing in.

All of these chips, gadgets, and gizmos increase the mileage of the vehicle by some small amount. That makes the Greenies happy. And that’s all that matters.

(Of course the Greenies would prefer that you didn’t have a car at all. I suppose they’ll eventually achieve that, one way or the other.)

Stop making the vehicles so complicated.

You would have to first change regulations that generate the complexity. Traction control, anti-lock brakes, backup cameras are all features that are effectively mandated in all new cars, and they need chips. CAFE standards also effectively make more chips required to try to wring the last mile out of every gallon regardless of its effect on cost, reliability and reparability.
