Despite the fact that huge taxing and a work force would be required to produce each of the thousands of parts needed for just one car.
4. Current technologies, especially in the area of recording moments (cameras, video cameras etc) aren't really developing new technologies, but the current technologies are being rapidly improved to a point beyond belief.
