    Imagine getting in your car and it refusing to drive you anywhere because the wear sensor on the brake pads is bad, but everything else is fine.

      It’ll be like MS windows. "Service needed " message will pop up as soon as you get in, then it’ll drive straight to the nearest service centre , however many 100’s of km away, and keep you hostage inside 'til you pay the bill.

      That seems relatively easy (and cars already have it with the little bit of metal that makes the brakes squeal when worn):

      From the sensor being triggered, you have say 1-2000km to get the sensor or brake pad (whatever the issue is) fixed.
