    Ah, so no ECU? No RFID engine interlock? No braking assist or lane keep?

    I highly doubt it. Post your model. You’re 1 software bug away from a dead car.

        Let’s see here.

        ECU - that has a bug and your dead in the water

        Push to start - bug in that system, and you’re stuck.

        Hill Hold - have a software glitch there and your brake is jammed on.

        Sorry bub, there are multiple system on your car where a software glitch will stop it from driving.

      You might be right but how common are those? Ive yet to have a car breakdown over an ECU bug/malfunction but its a small sample size.

        Not that common, I think most places try to flash the ECU and if that doesn’t work they chuck it. I would not be surprised if a lot of software bugs get resolved as a bad ECU.
