LexisNexis, which generates consumer risk profiles for the insurers, knew about every trip G.M. drivers had taken in their cars, including when they sped, braked too hard or accelerated rapidly.

Just keep 7 or 8 of the same model and fix it yourself. Pretty soon we’ll be able to fabricate every single part on these so even if the parts go out we will be able to keep them running
That won’t work at scale; cars wear out, and become expensive enough to maintain that people scrap them

Right on, got a 97 Ranger. It just literally keeps on truckin’ and I love it.
On average, people junk cars at about 20 years. A few really do last longer, particularly if they’re not driven daily.
