LexisNexis, which generates consumer risk profiles for the insurers, knew about every trip G.M. drivers had taken in their cars, including when they sped, braked too hard or accelerated rapidly.
I don’t like the ECU and sensors having the potential to make the car not run, but they do tend to make things more efficient and powerful at the same time.
Carbs suck too. But electronics have a limited lifespan and are not easy to work on. On my 1995 F-150 an airbag module (circuit board thing) malfunctioned, and no one is making new ones. I needed it working to pass mandatory state inspection. Had to get a new module from a junkyard and it luckily worked, but that isn’t viable long-term. Carbs, as much trouble as they are, are viable long-term.
