My car is built in 2023 (2016 model) and has none of those "features". The most high tech thing is a USB port.

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.

Every car has an ECU, those are pretty much tried and tested at this point. Bugs are rare.

I don't have push to start.

I don't have hill hold.

Like I said, the most advanced feature of my car is a USB charger.

The point.

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.

Thats a good point and I have had that happen before.
