In far less than 10,000 yes, we will be able to throw any bitstream in the computer, define as many parameters as we might happen to know (e.g., "This is a document file created with XYZ software"), or perhaps none at all, and have the computer grok out the meaningful data stored therein. CDs can be read with electron microscopes if need be. There will always be a way to recover data; it just might not be cheap and easy.

And of course, Ford and GM have multiple brands and models in countries all over the world.

Finding myself upside down in my pickup truck, thanks to a teenager and her cellphone, getting into some sort of position to kick out a window in time would have been impossible if the truck were on fire.

In fact, my first and main thought was 'pleasedontcatchonfirepleasedontcatchonfirepleasedontcatchonfire'

I was able to crawl out because the drivers side window shattered as it rolled over.
