My question is whether these systems will still be receiving support in 10-15 years time.
Yes, autonomous vehicles are on the horizon, so all vehicle lifespans should be considered limited, but cars generally don't suit the gadget life cycle of being discarded after a few years when the new model comes out.
What was the last piece of technology you purchased that has survived 10 years intact or without replacement by the newer and better?
I'd argue that it's much easier to maintain a supply of mechanical parts than of 10-year-old electronics; unless there's been some serious consideration of future-proofing in the design process?
- King-Aaron 9y agoThey probably will. Most vehicle manufacturers offer support for a fairly long time post-production, and there's always a plethora of aftermarket alternatives for most cars. Even in terms of computers, there's a massive range out there (from companies like Adaptronics, Link, Haltech, etc) when you have to move away from an OEM unit. Already if you look at the EV scene, there's a huge variety of motor controllers/inverters/etc to choose from. I think keeping older EV's running in the future won't be too hard for people.
