Adaptive cruise control is brilliant I drove alljdanielp wrote:Yeah... I tried it when things were quiet (so basically in Scotland) to get an understanding of what it is capable of and have to say that that aspect is underwhelming compared to the newer version of Autopilot. The adaptive cruise control with lane-keeping feels really reliable in comparison and if you are happy to cruise along a couple of seconds behind a lorry it makes for some efficent energy usage and a bit of a break of full-on concentration.

But look 10 years on and if the whole industry moves to leasing, subscriptions, and eventually shared mobility (ie. not owning cars at all) then there is no second hand market at all. It very quickly becomes entirely about always building new and always scrapping.
There is no second-hand ownership when there is no ownership at all.
Yes, you can look at how the end-of-life is managed, what post-car uses for scrap materials there might be … but you’re still creating a huge increase in environmental cost by constantly manufacturing new vehicles.
