The Automobile Is Worth Preserving. The Way We Build It Must Change.

Modern automobiles are among the most extraordinary products ever created.

They are safer, cleaner, faster, quieter, more efficient, and more capable than vehicles from even a few decades ago. They protect occupants through crashes that once would have been unsurvivable. They extract remarkable fuel economy from increasingly powerful engines. They monitor emissions, manage traction, communicate across dozens of electronic systems, and operate reliably across enormous variations in weather, road conditions, and driver behavior.

The modern automobile is a marvel of engineering.

And yet, for many owners and technicians, something feels deeply wrong.
