    Yeh. I’d imagine at least in urban areas, they’d be reclaimed. In more unpopulated areas, I could see them becoming hiking/biking trails, or maybe just being left intact in some places for the few hobbyist car drivers left. (I mean, Kirk’s stepfather owned a Corvette in the Kelvin films, though that had Nokia product placement for some reason. We’ll just say that temporal cold war stuff allowed Nokia to last a bit longer and make car accessories, and that this is still a very old stereo.)

      Yeah I can’t take the JJ universe seriously when they have that kind of product placement. When I like to have fun with world/lore building in star trek. I would say they do leave some of it intact. The same way we have Pioneer settlements like Cades Cove now or Williamsburg for historical purposes. Hell the Whitehouse is just a museum if it survived WW3.
