I was just wondering, because titanium doesn't rust, so you wouldn't ever need to paint it. It's very durable, lighter than steel, so it wouldn't put as much wear on brakes, or your tires, and it would also save us loads in gas.

So why aren't cars made of it?

Because in pure form it's 8 times as expensive as stainless steel or aluminium and in alloy form which it would need to be in for car manufacturing it costs 16 times as much.

I suspect a more durable auto would also thwart the 'planned obsolescence' element that's been ingrained into overall manufacturing since the 1970s. Things aren't built to last like they used to be.

Both of the above answers are pretty solid.

Same reasons planes are nott but the black boxes are, too damn expensive and not enough of it on the earth for all cars cause its a complex process I presume. Hence why we should drill the moon for it

Titanium is very difficult to work with. You have to have special equipment to cut or weld Titanium.

They make a slight profit off remaking cars that have been totaled. A huge profit actually.

That's precisely why.

True story.

We have the technology to make the world such a great place. But money gets in the way. More specifically, the greed money produces.

If NASA build cars they would cost $1 million each for the lowest model.

If our usage of money weren't a debt producing engine for most of the world and a get-rich-quick scheme for the top dogs $1 million would be the equivalent of $1 thousand due to the incredible manufacturing capability we have now being unaffected by the total lack of purchasing power.

Jaden's correct.

Mindship's correct.

Oneness is correct about the moon landing.

If money didn't exist, then cars wouldn't exist.

I quoted myself because you're impatient and it is imperative that you reread my finalized post.

I agree that money is the sole perpetuation of incentive in human society, but it has been allowed to become a tool.

That's why safe cars are unnecessarily economically impractical; moreover, that's the main cause of human suffering in the modern world.

Try building a factory and selling cars under a barter system. It's just not worth the effort.

Not having cheap safe cars is the main cause of human suffering in the world?

That was an addendum to the exploitation of capitalism to produce scarcity as opposed to the lack of personal purchasing power and subsequent economic impracticality of manufacturing safe vehicles that has resulted from it, this was made clearly apparent in my sentence.

That's correct! You were ignoring reality.

I feel lethal, lusting to get the better of those who take advantage of the masses.

I'm a megalomaniac and I will fix the world.

Because I believe we are in control of our own fate, not those who got ahead in the money game.

No, the way you worded it, it came off as I questioned. But okay.

No ad hominem! I was pointing out that part of the equation that you have been ignoring. Why should anyone care? If you don't pay people in one way or another, why would they build cars? Money has made it possible to give people a reason. The consequence of that is inexpensive cars that do a good job of protecting people, but they are not tanks, or spaceships.

The global stress level would be far lower in a more primitive society. In fact it is, the stress level is marginally increasing as the business world becomes a cesspool of competition. I would rather live like a Hobbit than live in this day and age.

I'd already pointed out the fact that without money there's no incentive, I never disagreed with you on that to begin with.

You're slowly sinking into ad hominems and erroneous assumptions about me.

The truth is, to quote the Verve, "I'm a million different people from one day to the next. I am here in my mold."

You have a reputation that would make Rod Serling do a double take.

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call "The Oneness Zone".

Kind of lie asking why we don't make cars out of diamonds. However, that argument is probably better because we can artificially manufacture diamonds without depleting important resources at the same time. I'm banking on plastic cars in the future, myself haha

Plastic cars already exist, at least in part.

So I skimmed through it and I hate to break it to you, but breaking a mirror is 7 years bad luck; not 6

oooh, yeah, I forgot about lego land Iguess what I meant to say there,was, i'm banking on legos. I think it's the only real viable that will address all of the plastic waste in the world and the amount at which we produce it. Just start making building projects out of legos.

That is superstition and not reality. The reason braking a mirror was 7 years of bad luck was because mirrors in the past were so expensive that it would take the average person 7 years to pay it off.

As if the tables were to turn in 2016, that is 6 years afterwards, so you're making superstitious a troublesome part of my observations.

I can see it now! Fender-bender leads to across town fly over and back.

Pretty sure titanium is used in many cars, but only for components that absolutely need its properties.

Why are cars made of diamonds? They're all shiny and shit

Why aren't people made of titanium? Would save on seatbelt costs, clearly.

Good thing titanium is made of titanium.
