For what it's worth, I don't care if they all end up piled in the ocean, but new generation batteries will outlast any car body you put them in. They can be a robotaxi for 20 years and then grid storage.

Not to mention the government kill switch.I'm scared of buying a new car.
I'm afraid that technology used today will be beyond my understanding.
I hear that no keys are needed to start them.
That they drive themselves and some even talk back to you.

Is this true, or are you making this up as a joke?My truck makes me take my eyes off the road to push "AGREE" with the message on the screen that says "taking your eyes off the road is dangerous".
100% true. The message will randomly come on the touch screen while I'm driving and can only be erased by touching the AGREE button. It DON"T go away by itself - I've let it remain there for 5 minutes. In the mean time the touchscreen is useless for changing radio stations or anything else. 2016 3/4 ton Silverado. I've asked the dealer about it and they just laugh---like everyone else.Is this true, or are you making this up as a joke?
If it's a joke, then it's sooo ridiculous that there's a possibility that this will one day be true. And that's not funny at all.
If it's true, then the irony value should purchase a one time fit of laughter, and a lifetime of giggles.
But then if it's true, it is indicative that the state of modern society has descended to a new low.
And that's depressing.
I simply could not abide that feature. I would very much want to plunge an ice pick into the screen.100% true.

Correct I got married to be naged and harassed. I bought a car to drive away from that every now and then lol.I simply could not abide that feature. I would very much want to plunge an ice pick into the screen.
The purpose of a vehicle is a tool to transport a person to and from wherever he wants to go.
Not to remind, nag, condescend, badger, harass or criticize.
Indeed, people often use a vehicle to escape such things!
I've heard that vehicles are being equipped with alcohol sensors that when triggered will disable the vehicle.
I wonder how long such a vehicle would be disabled if a beer was poured onto the seat?
