I'm sorry, what?

Please don't do this, people. It ruins completely good engines and the poor guy who gets this car with high mileage will be the one with the grenade on his hands.

Now with the software part. Keeping the software as "human sized" as possible and the ones who build it on the hook for support ( cheap paid support, not the main source of income of the contract ) is 80% of the work in order to keep complications in check.

Either way time and reality will weed out the ones who as "fancy" and "advanced" they are, nobody will have the money or patience to deal with them. The only unfortunate thing about this is how long it takes to play out and the victims it makes along the way until it succumbs under its own expensive weight.

I am wondering if car has some sensors for this: oil level is low, engine starts overheating etc.

I have a feeling the author is not counting oil changes.
