You caught my funnybone, and not with the "finite lifespan" remark. I think it was the image conjured up of a late model drive-by-wire auto being controlled by that dirty volume pot in my 70's era stereo amplifier. I think I am beginning to understand why you like these mid-life (life of the corporation) automotive products as examples of the engineering profession yet untouched by the planned obsolescence directives. Sure they made goofs that resulted in the same net effect, i.e. the unscreened flow-through ventilation, but there was no lifespan cap being purposely designed into them.

I'm browsing (not reading) a fascinating tome on automotive electrics (2007) I think you'd enjoy as well. Automotive Electrics Automotive Electronics 5th edition by Robert Bosch GmbH. Sorry, mine is in English. I know you'd enjoy it auf Deutsch. Certainly it, or maybe even its successor, is in your school library; I've read the first edition (1988) cover to cover for its currency to our old Volvos, and this new edition is twice as thick, just as you'd expect. 150pp on sensors alone.

Banning the bra was a big flop.
