"the ASIC controlling the automatic transmission—the thing that makes it "an automatic transmission"—doesn't fail"

In 2018, it is possible to have a car with an ECU that is 30 years old, and I happen to have one. Solder joints can go bad over time, and repairing the control unit is a thing that people do on cars like mine. If I was looking forwards regarding some other bit of electronics, I would probably worry about capacitors too.
