And you end up with a vehicle with extremely dubious crash safety, no warranty worth speaking of, insurance companies won't touch it, and the resale value will be abysmal. Have at it!
- vlehto 11y agoMy bike has parts from several different companies. It has separate warranty for every part, insurance company doesn't mind anything and resale value doesn't differ from package deal. What's so different? In the example all assemblies affecting crash safety would come from respectable auto manufacturers, so I don't see the problem.
- sjwright 11y agoCrash safety in a modern car intimately involves all parts of the vehicle's infrastructure. I doubt it would be possible to componentize without severe compromise. Major car manufacturers sometimes can't even get it right on their own products. E.g.: http://www.carsguide.com.au/car-news/hyundai-tucson-slammed-over-four-star-safety-rating-36654 http://www.carsguide.com.au/car-news/hyundai-tucson-slammed-... As for the insurance question, that's just absurd. Your bicycle insurance isn't anything remotely similar to car insurance.
