You said it all right there, total retardedness! Cars do not need "chips" to run! True story! Believe it or not!
That they choose to make it that way is to their folly.
Matt has made another meaningless post. Cars either need a mechanical(usually some form of cam) or computer way of calculating fuel mixtures and other requirements. The better way is with a computer chip. All modern cars use a computer chip. We could redesign our cars not to use computer chips, but that would be expensive. If we were going to redesign the cars anyway, might as well just use a more expensive chip, that is still cheaper and better than a mechanical device.
