The author of this article is out of touch with modern engineering. It's nice to wax about the old days when things had simple linkages that were easy to debug, but I'll take my incredibly responsive anti-lock brakes, intelligent traction control, variable valve timing and electronic control of niceties before I go back to the bad old days.

I also have serious doubts that Toyota actually has any real problems with their software. I'm betting 90% of the issues are human error with a side of new-fangled-gadget blame.
