To the left of the mask or to the right?

As a mind experiment, imagine that one day in the not too distant future Toyota will want a /60 or even a /56 for every vehicle they manufacture. At their current rat of production, close to 10 Million vehicles a year, they will need huge allocation rather quickly, and of course so will all the other vehicle manufacturers
This sounds like double counting to me. We are already talking about giving home users a /56 and ISPs a /19 or more and I thought the point of that was that the light bulbs in my house are going to be addressed from my home /56 and my car will get its addresses from the ISP /19.
So I don't see why the IoT means one big contiguous address block for all the things from one manufacturer?
> 3) we are forgetting the historical precedent: the Australian Defence Force was allocated a /20 by APNIC in 2007, and the US Department of Defense already has a /13. So we have at least one organisation in APNIC who already thinks that a /20 is 'just right' rather than 'too huge'.
2^20 is 1,048,576 to the left and 17,592,186,044,416 to the right
2^13 is 8192 to the left and 9,007,199,254,740,992 to the right.
(using only 64 bits)
Does anyone honestly believe that in the next say 50 years we will have less than 1,048,576 organisations who might have ambitions one day to have a /20 or less than 8,192 who think they are as big and important as the US DoD? (Ignoring the fact that the number of /20s will be less than that given the larger allocations made).
