Actually is is a fairy close analogy. The driver in an old 911 makes all the driving decisions and the car only does what you tell it to do in very specific ways. When you get to done you are satisfied you drove the car.
A new 911 is point and shoot. It will make a lap of a track WAY faster than the very best driver can do in the old 911. It will use less fuel, make less pollution, and be easier to make the faster lap. It decides what gear to use and changes gear faster literary faster than you can blink an eye. It will add braking to a specific wheel and change the rear wheels steering angle to make a corner and the car does much of the work to make a corner quickly.
The old software has no hand holding and a lot of strange and unique quirky ways to do the task that you want. The new software is almost file open, go. A minute of telling what you want to do, sit back and relax as it takes off and runs. The final product is done many times faster with less input. The final accuracy of a map is the same but one was done real quick and easy and the other one was a lot of human work and tedium. The new software is get it started and go surf the internet and relax while the computer works.
The final product is the same to the customer but only one was "man made" and the other was computer made.
