I used to be really into cars in the late 90's. But I got into other stuff since, and car stuff kinda fell off my radar.
Last week I read an article talking about how automatic transmissions are up to like 8 gears on average. And cars seem so computerized now, I'm wondering whether the old mechanical systems for things like variable valve timing have just given way to totally electronic systems.
What can you tell me about what has happened since, say, 2000, in regular ICE cars?
