One of the benefits of driving 15 year old cars is that stupid trends like touch screen controls go out of fashion 10 years before I even start considering buying a vehicle from that time period.
Now, once they embrace not having tracking and data mining in their vehicles, we’ll be getting somewhere
You won’t get that until we have a comprehensive privacy bill passed. Best we can hope for now is a car that’s so simply designed, you can actually dig around its internals to easily remove their SIM cards. The most promising example that’ll come to the market soon is the Slate Truck.
Embracing?? Being forced to do it or pay fees, equals “embracing”??
I’d say let them have their propaganda, at least it comes with a real improvement.
Every touchscreen-based car should be recalled for the safety issue it is. If not an outright recall, then manufacturers should have to offer owners a free replacement console/cluster with physical buttons.
I just wanted to add my valuable insight to the discussion here: Fuck Cars.
Well, not my kink, but you do you.
I hope this holds. My current vehicle has knobs and buttons and I hope my next does as well.
