Some suggest that self-driving cars will only last for 4 years at a time, meaning we'll be ending up with lots of driverless cars piled into the junk heap
, and so on, need to be factored into the longevity of the overall car, and the same applies to the computer chips and memory on-board too.
Thus, when you look at how long a car will last, you are also silently considering the cost of a new or newer car.If the cost is really high to purchase a self-driving car, you would presumably have greater incentive to try and keep an in-use self-driving car in sufficient working order.
Suppose a driverless car owner that had used their self-driving car extensively in a downtown city setting opted to sell the autonomous car to someone that lived in a suburban community. The logic might be that the self-driving car no longer was sufficient for use in a continual stop-and-go traffic environment but might be viable in a less hectic suburban locale.
On the other hand, some pundits have predicted that we won’t need as many cars as we have today, since a smaller number of ridesharing driverless cars will fulfill our driving needs, abetting the need for everyone to have a car.Another facet to consider involves the pace at which high-tech might advance and thus cause a heightened turnover in self-driving cars.
