If your car was made in the past 15 years? It has a lot more
electronics than you're considering, everything from lights to cruise
control to traction control and anti-lock brakes. To the other extreme?
My car is fully drive by wire with a lot of modern safety features like
proximity sensors, reversing camera, lane-keeping assist, yada-yada.

It's not a matter of desire. It's necessity: all this sophistication
requires software to operate.
