Actually cars now are more reliable than they’ve ever been. The modern car can do 100,000 easy with no major breakage. And they’re pretty cheap, especially when you factor in the 100,000, I just bought a brand new car for 16G a couple months ago, with an extra 2 all maintenance is on the company. For the next 10 years the only thing I have to pay for to keep the car running is gas, tires, and batteries. 1.8 thousand dollars a year for total coverage, and I EXPECT the car to outlive that warranty. Take away all the tech and highly useful stuff on them and they become a lot more fragile and prone to breaking. Also more prone to getting into accidents. More lethal when you get into the accident.

They’re only hightech nightmare for luddites. For everybody else cars are better now than ever.

The modern car is a maintenance night mare. A transmission job is 3k to 4K, I've never had one go past 150K miles. Emissions anyone? EGR valve for my Camry 400 bucks!!!!!

I just can’t wait for my care to have a radar system and guidance system along with the hi tech communications system and emission system. Have we lost out minds people? What are we doing?
