Now’s the time to start stockpiling carburettors to replace all the dead ECUs in 2040. You mark my words.
Seriously though, I’m with @TRA above but there’s going to be problems with all cars. My mk2 Golf that I dailied up to 3 years ago developed a problem with its carburettor and no mainstream garages near me had anyone experienced in working on them (it’s a particularly complicated unit on that car) and my only solution was an uneconomical full replacement with a non-OE Weber. So even if the technology is relatively crude, the skills will die off sooner than you might expect.
