Paragraph 2
Automotive
Sean Tucker tried to explain what is behind the rising prices. He said: "I think the biggest
is a combination of new cars and [them being] more
, so if you [wreck] your car, the
cost is really high, and a fender bender is very
right now." He attributed the sophistication of technology,
and safety equipment in modern cars to more expensive repair and replacement
. The cost of replacing the
in an electric car can range from $6,500 to well over $20,000. A simple fender bender is
to damage costly embedded sensors, cameras and sonar. One factor driving up labour costs is a
of car mechanics.
