Seems like something that won’t happen because to many people make money repairing cars. Not to mention that some people would never replace their cars if they didn’t break down.
If this actually scales, the most interesting part is whether the healing still works after repeated stress cycles and weather exposure. Claims about extremely long part life sound promising, but the durability data under real automotive conditions will matter more than the headline.
Now put them into self-replicating autonomous killer drones.
No auto maker will ever use this.
Guy who invents it suddenly commits suicide with two shots to the back of the head while hanging themselves while drowning while overdosing.
Who’s going to tell them?
Yeah cause capitalism will let anything last for 100 years.
Someone get the inventors a company of bodyguards, and quick.
This would be amazing.
What a weird headline. It’s self healing fiberglass. Relatively few parts of a car can be made of fiberglass and they aren’t the parts that wear down and break from normal use.
This makes me think of the whole „there’s no profit in curing cancer“ angle.
What part of the industry benefits from this? Color me a cynic if you like, but we’re in the age of planned obsolescence and a product that doesn’t need to be replaced regularly or require a subscription is a product that the suits in boardrooms aren’t going to want to market.
Sounds like unbreakable glass. It exists, yet no one wants to produce it, cause broken things usually get replaced $$$
Wouldn’t want to be on a plane ride with these guys.
and that is exactly why the auto industry won’t use them.
Just like the lifetime LED light bulbs I replace every 9 months
So, it’ll get figured out, probably bought or patented by some corporation and put on a shelf so it can’t hurt profits
they’ll make sure the payments plans last that long too
These guys are probably going to fall out of a windows sadly.
awww damn sorry to hear about the passing of all these guys along with their research next week.
Capitalists hate this one simple trick!
How are you supposed to buy a brand new car every 10 years then?
Original lightbulbs could last a lifetime. They were made worse on purpose to ensure sales … my bet is that these materials will never get on the consumer market
Yeah this would never come to market
Then how are they going to sell you one every 5 to 10 years?
