Cars have been shipping with sensors and computers since the 80s. When was the last time you heard of somebody's ECU failing? What's that, you've never heard of an ECU before? :-)
- alliao 9y agoECU is pretty basic though and they do fail, I guess they all have a designed lifetime. The thing is the more complex these things become the higher probability they fail. A machine made of 10parts each with 1% of failure rate per annum doesn't just add up to 10%...
- esterly 9y agoAgreed. The sensors which fail commonly fail [1] on high milage ICE cars are in the hot places, exhaust and coolant. Battery cooling and electric motors run at a much lower temperature around 40C [2]. 1. https://www.gsfcarparts.com/blog/when-car-sensors-go-bad-symptons-for-5-common-sensors https://www.gsfcarparts.com/blog/when-car-sensors-go-bad-sym... 2. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/questions-about-battery-cooling.95620/#post-2237439 https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/questions-about-batt...
