The tin whisker problem and flash memory life cycle issues will ensure those cars dont run.
Not saying it cant be done, look at the old rca stuff. The boards get crispy on heavy use sets but they survive.
Can you imagine all the toxic gasses all this petroleum based crap releases as it decomposes..? No wonder cancer had gone up 3 fold in the past 10 years. Everyones house is a toxic fishtank because of cheap disposable junk.
