Any thoughts and insights would be appreciated. I'm hoping to work for a car company in the future.
Cheers

It always comes down to cost and profitiability. I work in the auto industry. it does not make sense for car companies to enginneer these parts for a lifetime when typically 10 to 15 years is the lifecyle of the product.
