It's certainly much worse of a problem with EVs because they're all designed by futuristic techbros that want everything tied to Google Home or the equivalent. A common EV story is getting your car bricked by a routine OS update. When's the last time that happened to an ICE vehicle?
my drive shaft has a mechanical connection to my wheels, all of my doors are mechanical except for my rear lift gate, and my car is post 2020. If my battery quits I can still unlock and exit my car using the same door handle. If my accelerator gets stuck I can manually turn the key and shut off the engine. this is not something you can do in an EV with a malfunctioning speed controller.
Okay, now that is also horrifying. Holy shit.
yeah, avoid EVs like the plague
Avoid autonomous cars like the plague. The autonomy is the problem, not the drivetrain.
True, but sadly it seems you have to stick to older cars to avoid that garbage, which largely rules out EVs.
