In the 70’s the gas pedal attached to the carb via a cable, not a drive by wire system that utilized a closed throttle plate with a separate computer control idle air control valve to manipulate idle based no multiple inputs…
I don’t see it as concern trolling once you realize that we have pushed cars to be simplistic in design and complex in electronics. Could we have built better handling cars by using better suspension systems, tire compounds, spring rates, ect…? Sure, but why do all that when you can use the ABS system to create vehicle stability control and then up charge people to magnetic damper system for a nicer ride. How does it handle if that’s disabled? How long is the longevity of your engine affected if you adjust the fuel/air mix leaner to get better gas mileage?
Unless manufactures are willing to offer factory OEM firmware free of charge I think it has the real ability to open a pandora’s box of problems.
