Speaking of (internal-combustion) engines, I wondered when we can get to 
the point where the controller is operating down at the level of 
individual spark plug activations and valve openings -- getting rid of 
cams and timing belts, in other words.

With that level of control, could you get down to an idling speed of 0 
rpm? That is, could the engine get itself going from absolute rest?
