I think this shouldn't be that big of a deal if automakers are responsible about the integration (not all are). Even the newest tech in 2020s with the digital dash, integrated nav, etc. etc. is only equivalent to a heavy duty laptop screen + a smartphone power wise. Shouldn't be overly expensive unless they just make it super hard to take apart.
Also, when's the last time any of us have seen a laptop just straight up die without getting broken? Cars are harsher environments sometimes, but the stuff is just way more reliable in general.
Sometimes I think the rise in complexity will actually make things simpler as it becomes more general purpose processor + software vs a ton of little unique modules.
