#36 says The four common types of car engines are Straight, Inline, V and Flat. These refer to the cylinder layouts in the engine.

29. 1957 is that first time a car engine had a computer component. The 1957 AMC Rambler Rebel had the first electronic fuel injection system (EFI) designed for a production car.

That's quite misleading. Like comparing a smaller claw hammer to a large ball peen hammer.
