Right. Pretty much everything is computer now. Even in the last 20-30 years, a lot of engine control has been done by computer. You’d have to go back pretty far to find one with no digital circuitry.
If you wanted to retrofit a modern car, like you said, you’d have to replace the entire compter system with a new one, or replace everything with linkages. Are any controls directly connected any more, or are cars 100% drive-by-wire?
They’re making them without dipsticks now so I really doubt you’d find even one cable. Even the emergency brakes aren’t done by linkage.
