I don't think fully automated cars will have as drastic an impact on mechanics as 3D printed cars. A better question to ask is this: What happens to all the mechanics when getting an entirely new vehicle is cheaper than paying to have

A better question is how the DMCA could possibly apply to a site that doesn't host a single file. It's a search engine for (magnet) URLs that anyone can submit to. How do you submit a takedown for a "file" when there&#
