Very arguably idiotic, until the EMP occurs.

Maybe better engineering captures the emissions and crash concerns in simpler, sturdier designs.

This is very unlikely, given that everything points towards sturdier designs being less safe.

Emissions can not be reasonably solved without chips, there really isn't any feasible alternative.
