No they didn’t bud. Regular (working class, non tech) people in the 90s had never heard of GPS, had hardly heard of a computer. Outside of super niche luxury brands of cars, it wasn’t a thing at all.
Most my cars have been German. Even when there was no internet, they still had a fucktonne of computers. Think there’s about 25 ECUs in my 2007 shitbox.
Yes but im willing to bet they dont all phone home like cars of today, government has full control of all new vehicles due to regulations. Black boxes, brake control, cameras, your new car is a rolling surveillance tool.
Pre computerized cars is going to be pretty hard. We’ll run out of old beaters eventually.
They’re also less safe and efficient. They’re fun, but objectively worse cars to run nowadays that parts can also be hard to come by.
There is no lack of available parts for my 21 year old Chevy.
That was made this century. To go uncomputerized, we need to be looking at the 80s and back.
Cars with just efi and abs are avilable up to like 2019 before the gov made them put black boxes in.
I wouldn’t consider OBD-II computerized.
90s cars had GPS already. They’re pretty advanced, other than economy cars. 00s and on, they’re chock full of computers.

I suppose that depends on the model you get. On my truck there is no GPS, no On Star, simple CD player deck, which I replaced with 3rd party deck.
