Huge volume automotive components amaze me! They are so skookum, yet so cheap. Why can't they make tools and appliances this good? (Other than the fact that if a blender breaks down it doesn't end in a roadside meat explosion.) Right, because MONEY.

    Worthless drive-by-wire systems. They only serve two nefarious purposes. 1: they keep the idiots from destroying a car prematurely. It really is a disservice to the motoring public. Destroying an engine is how you learn not to. 2: they pave the way for autonomous vehicles. Seriously, if you don't want to actually drive, get a taxi (or current equivalent) or take public transportation. Stop demanding this insanity and ruining vehicles for those of us willing to take on the responsibility of freedom.

    Good to see you dippin yer toes into this type of thing. I do a lot of reverse engineering of factory automotive sensors for work in an engineering environment. What for taking control of them ourselves or using them on other prototypes. These also almost always have a redundant output for error checking.

    Ford does not own Mazda, although they had a majority of shares for about 20yrs up until the early 2000's, when Mazda bought themselves back and Ford approached bankruptcy. The older models shared parts because Mazda and Ford co-developed several platforms together.
