Less parts, less things to break, less things to install, less things to maintain. Etc. All good things when it comes to cost. You'd be surprised how that stuff adds up quickly.
- K0balt 2y agoThis will not be less parts. It will be integrated modules Instead of tubing, with each module being about as many parts as the original entire abs system. Cheap to manufacture because cars can be engineered more easily, but each module will be 1000 dollars and unobtainable in 20 years, because it will be very specialized digitally for that specific vehicle models, sub year, etc. non-maintainability is a feature, not a bug.
