well, all the electric components are very well covered. the spark plugs are buried in the engine block, and the other components are shielded.
also, the drowning of the engine mentioned above has to do with water preventing air intake, not the electrical components.

The only electronic thing is in the wires going to the spark plugs in the engine compartment. And it is actually possible to drown an engine if you run through a deep puddle too fast.

Because the electrical system does not get wet. It's protected by the frame of the car, the hood, the grill, etc...
If you get stuck in a deep puddle, you'll know what I'm saying... If the water is too deep, it covers the electrical system, killing your motor and probably causing damage to the electrical system (rust, etc).

Electricity is well behaved. It usually goes where we want it to and doesn't go where it's not wanted.
The engine electrical system on you car is well insulated for most driving conditions.
The same is true for those thousands of airplanes flying through thunderstroms at 30,000 feet.
Good Luck!

wow...just wow.
None of the electric componants get wet and are shielded in the engine bay or interior of the car.

I think it is because the car's engine is covered.

The electricity in your house comes from wires-some are exposed to the weather-and you do not wonder how or why?
