A more realistic example for your engine -> pedals example would be a something like a Tesla which has no engine or transmission and 2 motors.

@JimmyJames: The point of the example was to retain one of the existing componenets from the original car isntead of chucking them both out, since I was focusing on reusability.

I get it but the issue with building 'inside-out' objects is roughly similar in that the code that 'drives' the car becomes non-reusable. I find sometimes people get bogged down in whether a hypothetical example is realistic and miss the point.
