Dead-end cars ?

It's the same with almost all technologies. I've got a lot of digital storage media from the 1980s and 1990s - even have the drives to read them - but finding a computer with the proper interface AND drivers would be very difficult, if not impossible, in some cases. It will difficult to find OBD/CAN tools (compatible with today's systems) that far in the future - replacement electronics and sensors will probably be more so.

With today's tech electronics will be hard to come by. But if 3d printers could and it's a reasonable stretch print sensors, boards, and processors it would just take 1 person uploading plans and you can print your parts. Electronics shouldn't be an issue to create cheap for vintage tech.
