Digital valves to replace camshafts?

Updated,

I have studied upon the issues discussed here, and for me, the primary issue is reliability.  The more complex something is, the greater the chance of failure.  The problem with this design is its complexity.  If it doesn't work, it isn't much good for anything.

Simplify, simplify, simplify.

A bit of grease monkey stuff here.  Engines are interesting to me, and these are no exception.

The idea here is to time valves to fit what the engine needs at various times.  A mechanical valve set up does not have this kind of capability.  Very high tech ICE engines as opposed to all electrical as an option for future.
