I raise you this:
I attended a lecture once held by a Professor working in the transport sector and he envisioned the future where cars are no more than 800 kg (1700lb) with very small engines and the safety requirements are augmented by using auto pilot safety intrusions into the vehicle (much the same as what Tesla is doing today but back when he gave the lecture even Tesla I believe did not exist)

A handful of people have put forth such a theory, because they cannot believe the stupidity of the inflation of car prices is going to continue, so they assume somehow that we'll all have multiple cars suited to do different things that will all be much less expensive than they are today somehow.
Part of that theory is manufacturers will decontent cars completely. I mean compared to the 70's the twins are super luxury cars, back then cars didn't have stereos and some came without air conditioning.
