Even once the problem is "solved", there's still an entire industry, one of the biggest, to turn around. Right now we still don't even get software updates for our head units in our car in most cases. As technology improves, how will self-driving cars adapt?

We change out our phones every couple years, but may car is five years old and I'm just about to finish paying it off. With a decade being a reasonable replacement cycle for a car, how will the car technology keep pace? Surely people aren't going to start buying iCars as often as they replace iPhones. Even if you adopted a service-only module for the industry, it's not like driving services will want to replace their entire fleet every two years.

Will cars have some sort of "technology package" including the computer and some of the sensor modules that can be made plug-and-play removable so you can upgrade your car?
