I'm hoping for two things, and I mean "hope," not "expect." The first hope is for the growth of aftermarket mods that electrify internal combustion cars.[1][2]

I'm hoping for two things, and I mean "hope," not "expect." The first hope is for the growth of aftermarket mods that electrify internal combustion cars.[1][2] They don't save you money right now but maybe costs will come down. They'll never be as slick as the OTS stuff.
The second is even more distant, and that is for the right to repair to extend to cars so that we can safely mod all the software that comes with a modern car. Then, at least if we don't want it we can turn it off.
One bright spot though is a massive growth in non-car transportation. I work by the window in a lower middle class neighborhood in a small town and I already see all kinds of cool e-bikes, scooters and hell-knows what whizzing by the house. No room for awful electronics on those, they're just wheels, motors, and helmets. Here in Colorado something like that would serve 80% of my transportation needs. Maybe renting a car for the other 20% becomes more of an option.
