My father loathed computers. But when it came to computers in automobiles he was especially wrathful.

"A car only needs gas air and electricity. It don't need no stupid computer!"

He was a pretty wise man.

Not only that, you need electricity to handle key engine functions such as compression, fuel injection, etc. Can’t they make EMP insulated cars?

Amen. It needs points, rotor, and a single coil!

But I have to admit. It’s nice that they always start, hardly ever stall, and engine “flooding,” a “choke” and air filled with unburied gasoline fumes are relics of a bygone era.
