I write and talk about automated and connected vehicles every day for a living. But my personal ride is a first-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata built 31 years ago this month. I know that as long as I maintain it in proper working order, it will always bring the same level of joy every time I drive it. Forever. No policy change by Mazda will ever change that.

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for an increasing number of vehicles now and into the future.
