I'm not familiar with how the sensors measure the level (how many and what locations), but why would a single observation point (dipstick) be more reliable (or more robust) than multiple observatios points (strategically positioned to minimize outside effects) whose inputs are digitally processed (averaged?) and presented on the dashboard? At the minimum, one could have a single sensor where the dipstick is and "see" whatever level the dipstick "sees" -- thus making it as good as a dipstick. Right?
