I think the transition away from cars will be slow enough that this wont be a problem. In the ideal situation, people will just stop replacing their broken down cars.
Yeah but what do we do with all the steel, rubber, aluminum, & plastic involved in all these cars?
We already deal with it somehow. Scrap them for metal, recycle rubber and probably just throw away plastic, because plastic recycling is pretty crappy.
I guess we'll have to recycle what we can, and put the rest in a landfill. Just the same as what we do with run down cars today.
I guess recycling will be a bit harder because we will not be using the materials to make new cars.
