BigTony (npub1cpc…v5zs) kumicota :shrazil: (npub10jp…elmz) There's real tradeoffs in how each type does stuff; do you have any serious experience with a "pre-modern" vehicle with ~1950s-60s technology?
The new ones are massively more reliable and long lived without major work, even with massively more features like ABS. Which statistically doesn't save any lives, but if you don't aggressively use all these features to maintain the same safety margin you're a lot better off.
On the other hand, by moving so much stuff into the electronics realm, here saving a lot of things that can go wrong with much bigger, heavier and expensive wiring harnesses, you get a new set of very weird obscure failure modes, and boy do I have stories to tell except they'd dox me.
As I have stories about purely mechanical systems in old cars, except those came uncomfortably close to killing me....
[Insert reference to rewritten bill for steam system where $5 to tap the right place with a hammer, $$$$ to know where to tap it.]
