I think the Germans and the British car companies were overly ambitious when it came to electronics in the past 10-20 years or so. Electronics were not proven in the field and were unreliable. They tried to automate too many functions and turned an otherwise mechanical marvel into junk.
Automotive electronics have gotten a lot more robust and reliable now yet they are still stretching current technology to it's limit. This is why a mid-level luxury cars are so much better to buy used than the flag ship sedans of the same make.
