Coming home from our son's this afternoon in our tintop with all its sensors and driving aids we came across a 1950 Riley RMD coming the other way.
It prompted me to wonder how many of our modern cars will still be around in 50+ years time.
At the Tisted Fly-In last Sunday my 1956 Mog was parked close to a 24 reg CX. What's the chance of the CX still working in 60 years time?
My Volvo can only be worked on by a main dealer or an independant who has access to the Volvo computers in Sweden, there's little to no chance of DIY.
I guess the CXs have software packages which need updating.

Same for me, and according to the Consumer Association we're not alone. They did a report last week Car tech features you could live without.

According to our survey of 1,216 Which? members, carried out in June 2024, some of the car technology people considered unnecessary included touchscreens (56%) zoned climate control (53%), lane sensors (53%) and automatic full beam lights (50%).

However, people were more positive about car technology such as parking sensors and automatic windscreen wipers.
