Today's "highly advanced and expensive car" is tomorrow's cheap knock off. The sunk costs have been made by the Teslas of this world and economy of scale is about to deliver its magic. It's ironic reading something like this on a technology website, an industry where scale and rapid development have delivered astounding value. Cars are just the latest product to be gobbled up by the same hyper-efficient industry. My prediction is the car industry will look like the PC industry in the future. Complicated drive trains have been replaced by simple motors close to the wheel. You don't have to architect a car around them anymore. Scaling will produce more generic and interchangeable parts at much better prices. Soon we'll be talking about our latest build, but it will be a car, not a computer. This has already started with enthusiasts transplanting reclaimed Tesla innards into other shells: https://youtu.be/o-7b1waoj9Q?t=291 https://youtu.be/o-7b1waoj9Q?t=291
