MICROCONTROLLERS

It sucks that it's against a companies best interest to make a car that you can repair and maintain by yourself indefinitely. I can get electric motors, more energy efficient and potentially more environmental. But stuffing a car full of electronics that mimic what used to be mechanical dials and knobs is just building in an early death to the vehicle that doesn't need to be there. Not to mention the fact that vehicles are now being built with the ability to be unlocked with something like the flipper which is an active downgrade.
