Though the mechanical components of the L62 V-8-6-4 may have been sound, the system’s electronics were not. Despite Cadillac’s claims that the Computer Command Module could process some 300,000 commands per second, it lacked the programming sophistication and overall speed necessary to direct the system across all driving conditions. Cadillac released some 13 updates, all via EPROM chip, for the Command Control Module, but none managed to overcome the system’s insurmountable obstacles. For 1982, Cadillac returned to a conventional V-8 engine design (now further downsized to 4.1-liters) for its passenger car range, while most owners of L62 V-8-6-4 Cadillacs simply had the cars converted to full-time V-8 power.
