It CAN be time based, but there’s also a “hot” and an “active” sorting. Both of which are “algorithms”.

Get two external hard drives and swap them into a fire safe occasionally.

That way if there’s a need to evacuate you can just grab the fire safe and run.

I think that has more to do with safety laws and emission standards than anything else. How can you properly crash test a fully modular car?

I’d love it if cars were more repairable, but modular would be a really tough design problem.

Heck, you NEED a screen in the US on any car due to backup cameras being mandatory. If you need a screen, I can see why companies would just use it for the infotainment system.
