Once we replace cars what do we do with all of them?

I think the transition away from cars will be slow enough that this wont be a problem. In the ideal situation, people will just stop replacing their broken down cars.
Yeah but what do we do with all the steel, rubber, aluminum, & plastic involved in all these cars?
We already deal with it somehow. Scrap them for metal, recycle rubber and probably just throw away plastic, because plastic recycling is pretty crappy.
I guess we’ll have to recycle what we can, and put the rest in a landfill. Just the same as what we do with run down cars today.
I guess recycling will be a bit harder because we will not be using the materials to make new cars.
Yeah that’s probably true, but we will need new stuff. More public transport like trains and so on. I would assume that we can recycle quite some stuff there.
Also a lot of other things need these resources and I am sure that at least a lot of the could be used to enhance the world further
What we already do with old cars. Put them in one of VVV those car crusher things.
Fuck them obviously, I thought that was the point?
Serious answer tho: I have no idea honestly, we have made so many of them. Strip them for raw materials and re purpose it all?
reuse all the material to build houses , computers more useful stuff
In the end, the goal should never be “lets get rid of every single car”, but rather “lets shift from a Car-centric design, to a active transportation & healthy living-centric design”

I’d turn the alternators into electric motors. Seats would make good desk chairs! Obviously stereo parts could be used for home audio stuff.
