I mean, a lot of cars have a genuinely phenomenal life span, if you don't mind getting something that isn't shiny and new you can probably get like a 2012 Toyota or Honda and drive it till the wheels fall off. My dream car is from the 90s and people still generally regard them as fairly reliable
Eventually it'll be an issue, but that does leave a lot of time for nerds and hackers to find a way to gut networking stuff while telling the car it's still intact. Dunno if we'll ever see an open source car OS compatible with the systems in major manufacturer's vehicles, but privacy workarounds feel like they could be pretty realistic
I would not want to share the road with modern oversized cars while driving a car with 90s crash safety
I drive a Miata as a 2nd car for weekend fun, but it's not a real option as a daily driver if you value your life
Not to mention that it uses 8 liters of gas per 100km, whilst my daily driver averages 12wkh per 100km
Thats fair. A na miata is basically my dream car, I hope to someday daily one in spite of being from the 90s ๐
