The old argument. Interesting, though, that modern car engines are much

That reliability doesn't come from the computers, it comes from improved
mechanical engineering and manufacturing.


The increased reliability of car engines comes from materials and new
technologies, such as better valves and seats, better spark plugs, and
electronic ignition.

The mechanical engineering and manufacturing abilities haven't changed
other than in increased automation.
