I am pretty scares to see what happens to cars from the last 10 years as they age. The amount of computers im them is unbelievably high. Most of the chips will have been end of lifed, and whats to keep the car manufacturer making parts? Historically there was a lot of room for third parties tonmake repplacement parts, but it feels unapproachable.
Hopefully these thousands of microcontrollers all kust keep running for many decades & this is a non-issue.

When I bought a new vehicle last summer, I actually was persuaded to buy an extended warranty in part by the argument that there are so many computers in the car. I also got offered a (seemingly--I know I know) good deal.
