Yes and no. An old school ICEV, sure. But having had my pickup up and die going across an intersection due to a failed part of the fuel injection system, I don't think it's safe to say modern ICEVs are more reliable than EVs in that regard. There's lots of things to go wrong which will shut you down just as instantly as a big failure in an EV.

Concur. I just traded in a 2013 model year GMC on a new Acura after a lot of shopping. Everything is electronic on almost all new cars, even formerly mechanically simple things like gear shifts and turn signal stalks. It all feels so fragile, and I doubt my choice will last close to the ten years my last dumb hunk of American steel lasted.

It’s like Kubernetes has been applied to the auto industry… way more complexity than necessary, causing a massive loss of uptime and security.
