Well computers have been a key part of cars since before the 2000s.
And depending on the issue they make it alot easier to find and fix issues. For example my car was stumbling and lossing engine power and even dying while driving. Had a check engine light with codes saying two systems had voltage high on the sensors/control wires.
Helped me narrow down and find a broken ground wire that got my car going again.
Also I can get all sorts of information from my car's CAN bus. So far from what I can tell the more electronics an engine as gotten they become easier to fix since you can ask the computer what's the issue. (Like I can tell what sensor is bad, or what cylinder is miss firing (Big issue on my 4 cylinder car to have 1 miss firing.).)
Plus its fun to just show off being able to control each light on the outside of the car from my phone.
