As ubiquitous as computers are now - lots of folks carry them round in their pockets - cars might have become computerized eventually anyway. However, cars first started adding computers 40 years ago in an effort to make a fundamentally dirty process - internal combustion - cleaner. Imagine where we'd be now if, instead of hanging on engine computers and catalytic converters, they'd just dumped the ICE and gone electric. With 40 years of development, simpler EVs would cost less than ICEVs do now. They'd have 300+ mile batteries, and 5-minute charging would be available on almost every corner. Sigh.
