Automations have existed long before that.

A large portion of radio and electronics were actually influenced by young people. There are examples of some of that with citations in places like the ARRL handbook.

Keep in mind that automobiles were well accessible to young people even before the 1960s.

My Father attended IBM school as part of vocational education before the age of 20 years old which was duri g the Vietnam conflict and before he was drafted.
Though I understand where you're coming from, I meant in terms of computer technology combined with mechanics. The Apollo Guidance Computer, for example, ran at 2.048 MHz and had a memory size measured in words, not bytes.

And similarly along the automobile note.

I definitely should have explained myself better, but edit rules can make one forget.
