i think if u ask a mechanic, they know more cars than these "engineer"
they will keep saying why these "engineers" keep adding electronics into the car, making the car more complex to be fix laugh.gif

and by adding more electronics and making them more complex makes it very unreliable
why?...electronics are very weather sensitive, they're not very good with water either
remember that recent X70 case that is only submerge rim deep...some lights on the dash already come on

Those complexities are what made it possible for car makers to lower emission, improve NVH etc.

Unfortunately the world has changed, car makers are business too so they responded to that change to survive.

Consumers largely don't seem to care about reliability beyond 5 years, they'll just change the whole car. So reliability seems to have taken a hit in return for better fc, safety, NVH, gadgets etc. Don't think even today's Toyota are as reliable as ones they made in 90s.

Take infotainment for eg. Seems a few motor journalists here also they'd complaint if it doesn't have Android Auto and Apple Carplay. Personally for me, I'd be fine with just Bluetooth, but when motor journalists put pressure on car makers to have AA & AC, then consumers respond by following their recommendation, then car makers will add that.
