Totally agree that automotive is one of the toughest nuts and then factor in
the idiot and gorilla (both user and advisers) out there who WILL use

BGA's are okay with just solder, but it is not in a high vibration
environment...the carrier takes that away, but for open contacts of
a switch, even with a designed in wipe, hard gold is the only way for me
