I agree that it looks like a diminishing demanded job, but we'll probably have ICE vehicles and machine still for a long time, right?

I can see the petrol stations near the city centres becoming multi storey parking lots with electric chargers, and the ones on the outskirts becoming cafés with electric chargers. I'm fairly certain battery swapping won't become a thing, people take the piss when it comes to stuff that isn't theirs, just look at the city scooters debacle.

Couldn't we also in 50 years design cars that could be dissembled in reverse and then broken parts replaced by automation? So ship car to automated workshop, it removes the parts replaces what is broken and put it back together...
