So, why would I ever need a 2TB SSD on my car?
More flash memory also helps when you only use a little space - you can do many, many more write cycles before degradation sets in.
Electric cars with apps?
self driving car models, data/analytics for model improvement, trained data from your unique path?
In-car infotainment systems with full movies and tv shows downloaded for road trips for the kiddies in the back seat? (spinning hard drives don't like vibrations)
2TB today is the 2GB of yesterday (well ok, 2GB of almost 30 years ago) but it's not just capacity, it's performance and serviceability for dealerships.
