I’d prefer my vehicles to be ‘chipless’
Keep it simple stupid. kiss
Yeah, this trend of making automobiles that are easy to make but terrible to maintain only helps the manufacturers. There are some things that are better electronic versus mechanical such as ignition, fuel injection, anti-lock brakes, and remote start but the "sensors-for-everything" is ridiculous.
There's a market for someone who could reprogram old chips or make chip bypasses to fool the onboard computers.
