Build a 30K, non-compputerized small pickup or sedan

You cannot make a new street legal car that is non-computerized.

Computers work fine in their place. Few of us really want to go back to carbs and points. But mandated backup cameras, airbags, OBD-II diagnostics, Anti-lock brakes, Stability control, crash sensors, etc. A number of laws would have to be changed first.

Full-disclosure: I work for a company that makes automobile chips.

Electronic ignition, airbags, anti-lock brakes, and backup cameras were offered decades before cars were computerized.
