After such vehicles are several years old and have been exposed to vibration, pressure changes due to altitude, dust, salt, water, temperature extremes, etc….. it seems that it'd take a pretty complex repair shop to diagnose a problem. For a vehicle that has 100 microprocessors, what happens if 5% of them fail? How does that affect the car's ability to run correctly? Once out of warranty, will anyone want to own one especially if a problem develops?”
