advantage and disadvantage of computerisation

Inside cars?!?

Advantage: computers can calculate & adjust much more quickly & accurately compared to humans or mechanical devices. Therefore cars today run more cleanly & r much more powerful ( comparing cars of similar displacement from 20 or 30 years ago ).

Disadvantage: Older cars, while needing adjustment more often, were more simple to diagnose & work on. Today is vehicles can be more difficult to repair when things do go wrong & also more expensive if control units need to be replaced.

The only disadvantage l have seen that in case of a major breakdown is that you need to tow the vehicle to the garage. You just cannot start it. In older vehicles without computers any road side mechanic could do the repairs.

Advantages are that manual work will be reduced, performance will go up and the time spent in garages will be less. Disadvantage is that one should not finger with the fittings.
