fr. i was in a rental car recently (a pretty new car) and the touch screen was MASSIVE and had so many buttons and things constantly happening on the screen to the point of it being very distracting.

thats changing dw

"Well the ipad is part of the car so, technically, playing subway surfers is part of me driving the car."

man as a lover of mustangs to f 1 cars this is nutz i hate it !

i mean i undersrtand tips on a f1 car that you need your whole attention but these cars all with a screen , its like they chose all the stupid features of a car and tbh i think people are really becoming like in this movie walle just floating around superfat

And the headlights oh my god the LED headlights making me go blind every second on a uneven road

Touch screens and drive by wire is not “future tech”. Its so they don’t need to design interior buttons or analog parts. It’s much cheaper and much worse. When that garbage fails in 5 years don’t be surprised. Keep used cars on the road please 🙏

Every day I am grateful all my mom can afford is a 2003 Subaru... something. Probably works better than any new car

reinvent the wheel and make it square.

Absolutely. Buttons are objectively inferior to the holy PRNDL. I worked at a car wash, and 99% of all the accidents that happened at the entrance were from people who were driving newer cars who thought they were in neutral. My coworker got hit by someone who was in reverse by accident.

It's because interfaces that correspond more directly to the things they control are more intuitive, and analog interfaces are kind of forced to correspond more closely to the things they control.

I will say that some digital stuff in vehicles today is a godsend such as having a digital speedometer in my 1st Gen Mini Cooper as to look on the speed for the I just look in between my steering wheel and just see the speed and know it instantly. This is opposed to me having to look to my right and take longer to figure out my actual speed due to not being digital and being in the middle of the car. Yeah some digital stuff is amazing and putting the speedometer in the middle of the car is a weird move from Mini.

@@carsoncas5355 I mean, plenty of analog speedometers are positioned in the middle, that's just a design choice it's not specifically enabled by being digital. Also an analog speedometer shows speed as a point on a continuum rather than just a number, which some people including me find more convenient, since that's what it is. That's more of a matter of personal preference though, I could totally see preferring a digital speedometer. The place where digital tends to go wrong is more in user input than in just displaying information.

AND THEY HAVE THE NERVE TO CHARGE MORE FOR IT EVEN THO IT'S CHEAPER

@@WorstTimelineInhabitant mfers throwing safety and muscle memory to the wind and are telling us “cough up the green bitches”

Why did that make you feel validated

Yep. Manufacturers don't care about customer safety, comfort, or satisfaction, they care about maximizing profit. When our complaints affect the bottom line, they fix things.

What's really frustrating is that this is a lesson air plane designers have learned the hardway the importance of physical buttons. Even today airlines keep a pretty traditional layout in the cockpit and important functions are all on physical buttons because the airplane designers know the importance of physical feedback. Navigation functions are done on a touch capable screen, but even that screen has physical buttons for important functions. For instance in a modern airbus the airplane uses fly-by-wire technology to control the plane but the designers know the importance of feedback and have designed the flight sticks to give feedback to the pilot and weight that reflects what the plane is doing. If manus want our car to feel like the cockpit of an airplane they they can at least follow the most basic principles of actual cockpit design. Physical buttons and feedback are super important!

I think new cars are making drivers more stupid and incompetent, they can't "feel" the car nor the road anymore. If you need a computer to prevent you from pressing the accelerator while changing gears, you need to revisit your driving license, It's basic stuff that new drivers don't know anymore

I, for one, wish you godspeed on your quest. I think one way we ought to campaign for more public transportation is to actually make it appealing for car owners. "Want less traffic, more open road? Invest in public transportation. Fewer drivers means less traffic."

deathtraps fr

America is awful when it comes to transportation. They purposefully made the country more and more car-oriented because of CAPITALISM. So rich people can get even richer. And Americans drive like they're going to kill you - people are allowed to have Cybertrucks for gods sake (they are illegal nearly everywhere else). Cars already kill people, I don't know why people are so keen on making them even more dangerous. Public transportation is just objectively better; better for the environment, less expensive, and you don't have to know how to drive it! And a country as wealthy and powerful as the U.S. should (and could EASILY) have that infrastructure. Just look at the rest of the world (Europe and East Asia in particular). They care more about actual convenience, efficiency and evolution of technology than just money, big corporations, and seemingly luxury status symbols like having a huge nonfunctional iPad in your car. People like you make the world a better and safer place. Good luck soldier.

yes ! public transportation!!! I wish it was more widely available 😢 the closest bus stop to my house is a 15 min drive 😭

Imagine diving into water and wanting to get out but you can't cuz the glass is bulletproof

I mean some rich person drowned in her tesla not long ago after accidentally driving it into the pond on her property because the windows were too strong to break to get out. rip.

So I agree with you 100%

there was a woman who died due to this exact issue already this year. her car backed into a pond, fully submerged, and even emergency services weren't able to break into the car to get her out. how the tesla company is still in business and making cars after multiple contingency fails like that is insane to me

Also its not all that bullet proof, sure it can stop weaker rounds but more powerful ones, you can still get off the shelf, can go through it just fine. So you are getting protection that traps you in your car when you need to get out and also doesn't actually protect you from bullets.

That's the fun thing about American manufacturing! What regulations!?

Vehicle safety tests in the US are retroactive. The car is made first, and tested after. To actually manufacture the car in the first place, the manufacturer just has to say that it will pass the tests (basically on the honour system). It's actually insane how the vehicle industry is structured in the US, and it is all due to lobbying.

@@Zyxlian Everything in the US is at the convenience of the highest bidder

cars being our main form of transportation can be directly attributed to lobbying. the automobile industry is not just in bed with lobbying but fused with it and to separate it would be basically rewriting history.

It didn’t, that’s why it isn’t sold in Europe, because they actually have those tests.

It's like people don't want to actually solve the problem, so they just create rules and barriers to separate themselves from the problem. It's idiotic. It's literally the same thing with gun laws. Instead of making more strict gun policy to prevent school shootings, school safety rules/drills are made much more strict. School safety is great, but they're giving too much focus on that instead of literally the primary source of the issue--guns and shooters 🙄

how can they stop your kid from walking to school?

They don't actually expect parents to follow those rules, they're just covering their ass legally in case a kid gets run over, they can just blame the parent for disobeying school regulations. Situations like this are ubiquitous like for example an airline manufacturer requiring their employees to perform rigorous safety checks that they can't possibly do in the time allotted. They can just blame the employee if there's ever a problem.

no wonder america is fucking obese. blame the car dependency and the insanity where people can't walk three feet without complaining.

Just have every car built out of carbon fiber

My uncle and I live and work together, and we carpool in his car b/c it has way better mileage than my SUV. My SUV is pretty basic without many features (and I like it that way), so when I drove his car for the first time, i found out about his auto brakes. This driver ahead of me was turning right into a parking lot. I had more than enough space to where I only needed to let off the accelerator and wouldn’t need to brake before they completed their turn. Well as it turns out, if you don’t give them at least a 100 yard buffer zone to complete their turn, the car slams on the brakes really damn hard until they are fully out of the way. Incredibly terrifying when it’s rush hour traffic, and the nearest car behind you may or may not notice in time

My 2013 basic impala has more useful features then my moms almost new luxury Lexus. It's crazy what should be standard is now a luxury to buy.

Omg yes! Im used to driving manual and cruising a lot and omg this was my worst night mare! Its so NOT fuel efficient!!!

It's only useful on the highway imo, I almost got into an accident but the assist system saved me. Don't get me wrong though, I hated most of the driver's assists and actually turned off the TC in my car.

Ah, i miss the manual buttons. Took me so long just to get used to not having to turn knobs and having to press/hold to change the volume when you could just have a simple turning button. It's just not needed. Some good features, but it can just be a huge distraction. Especially Teslas, before driving it they seem so cool and advanced, but when you have one, it's just eternal pain.

They can also come in a wide range of fun colors including a soft, off-white that would be less harsh on the eyes while still providing visibility....they don't do that either for some reason.

Real

Sounds like one of the radio ads from GTA V lol

*Sounds like the movie Death Proof*

With certain utility vehicles it's actually a good solution, though it's not really necessary for 95% of consumer cars. What's crazy is that there are cars with a camera connected to the rear view mirror. The cybertruck is unable to get any use out of an actual rearview mirror. The solution they came up with was to install a useless mirror anyway & connect a rear view camera to the dashboard screen.

I think that gets to the core of the problem. A lot of these new modern features create more points of failure and fixing them is no longer a simple process.

It's because the bed cover in the back blocks the rear window. The rear camera view is needed.

A rear view camera/backup camera isn't bad as long as you still have an actual mirror as well. My car has both, the mirror for large objects like other cars, and the backup camera for smaller stuff (like kids). THAT'S what the camera should be for, it shouldn't replace the mirror all together though.

Pls elaborate in simple terms lol. I’m interested in what you’re saying but I don’t think I understand clearly

​@faithchuene1897 government regulations (US at least) require a vehicle to meet a minimum fuel efficiency based on size. For some types of vehicles it would be too expensive to meet them easily. Car companies do want to make money after all. Most notable is pickup trucks. More modern pickups are so big at the fault of regulations because a small pickup, say a Ford Ranger for example, would need to meet requirements of like 50mpg, but the newer large F150 (to stay with a Ford example) only needs like 30mpg. A whole lot easier of a target. In general the regulations have very strict and aggressive standards for small vehicles and much less strict requirements for larger vehicles, so it's easier and therefore more profitable to make a larger vehicle. It's called CAFE regulations if you're interested, standing for Corporate Average Fuel Economy

@@faithchuene1897 Basically, the American government agency in charge of what amount of miles per gallon is acceptable bases it on vehicle size. This sounds good on paper, some people genuinely need bigger vehicles (Although they're a very, very small minority), in practice, these numbers are way off, so companies can't sell something like a 35 MPG small hatchback because "It's inefficient", so they choose to make a 20 MPG truck/SUV, because due to their size they have lower MPG requirement

​@faithchuene1897 the reason C.A.F.E standards exist is because before them American car manufacturers got lazy and complacent and instead of introducing new tech within cars or creating new more fuel efficient engines the big 3 GM,Ford, and Chrystler decided that every car need a huge v8 just to go down the road (they didnt) and so you got situations where grandma would have a 454 big block in her station wagon for no other reason than they refused or even were too incompetent to create better engines the big 3 seemed allergic to actually creating fuel efficient small cars either re badging euro cars or creating something like the Ford pinto and the truck part of the regulation was paid for by car industries to truck wouldnt have to follow the same standards

lazy ass developers. it doesn't take much to offer basic PWM based dimming.

Yeah they are brain dead. I guarantee most of them never drive at night because they never have a need to. When I drove a taxi for ten years overnight, the super brights on every car became too much to keep working.

as someone who is 5'1", in a very small car compared to trucks and suvs, and has an astigmatism, I hate them for that

Seriously it’s so annoying and reckless

That's the kids' problem. Sacrificing freedom for some ungrateful little children? You're new to America, aren't you? You can't tell us what to do and how to build things. Kids should take personal responsibility and buy their own cars and use them to drive to school. Ideally schools should be able to be driven into. Every classroom should be a parking lot and every hall should be a freeway. That's the American way 🇺🇸

@@chuck600 man, you're too good at sounding like those pricks 😭😭 amp it up a bit more, add some more burgers and guns in and youre sold

Where I live, too, it's *always* the biggest pickups that drive way faster than they have any right to be and tailgate like no one's business.

I've noticed that on the highway, dudes in giant pickups drive faster than some people in sporty sedans. F-150 drivers go faster than most challengers or BMWs I see

Or a DOPE af band name

Sounds like something that would happen in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

As a mechanic, hearing misalignment sets in annoyance. Hoisting a car and getting under it is easy but god, I have had so many problems with my alignment machine at work.

He's just a guy, driving a car! (and we all hope for his sake the road works ahead)

otherwise

But it will make mega rich car companies richer so they will keep doing it and the government has no interest in stopping them, it is actually so hopeless This video now made me scared to replace my old car in the future because I do not want any of those "features" but I guess unless its considerably used, I won't have a choice (bc capitalism doesn't actually give you the opportunity to choose, just an illusion of that because all companies are doing roughly the same stuff and digitalizing functions 😥) and i cant believe ppl are actually eating up that shite scam truck and waste all that money 😭

Cars are literally getting worse in every way. This is just the tip of the iceberg, don't even bother looking at repair-ability. The average car on the road in the US is 10 years old. I know people with 400,000 mile Hondas. Meanwhile this shit can barely drive off the lot, and if you need to do any repairs to it you run the risk of being electrocuted.

I just hope insurance companies charge premiums for their drivers because whoever is in Cyber truck is killing other cars passengers. Tesla owner better be ready to get sued.

Incentive to buy more cars. Can't get hit by a car if you're in a car 😂

This is a U.S.only problem, and if there's one thing they love doing in the U.S., it's ignoring problems they are unique to them

One of my favorite lines in any book (in this case Transmission by Hari Kunzru) deals with an H1B employee from India attempting to walk places in his neighborhood - "Anyone on foot in suburban California is one of four things: poor, foreign, mentally ill or jogging"

I've actually had someone try to tell me that car related incidents are down, so they're safer now, and people don't need to pay as much attention... Incidents may be down, but that just means that more of them are fatal for that number to be going up.

I will never get rid of my 2007 VW Rabbit. I'd like to fully make it without any scratches or little dents that I had, I love it and the fact that it doesn't have the bells and whistles. NO SCREEN at all.

I’ve seen people watch UKposts while driving, it’s insane!

I’ve never felt more validated for driving a manual. It’s a 2008 Honda Civic, done nearly 100k miles, and has LITERALLY NEVER BROKEN DOWN. When I do eventually get a new car, I should just keep the Civic, for when the new one inevitably breaks down. I remember reading an engineer say that building something that lasts forever is easy. Building something that will break down after a few years is the tricky part.

Because in a few years the car will be driving itself anyway for most people.

And that was BEFORE wearing seatbelts was legally enforced lmao Most cars in '68 didn't even have seatbelts

its governed by the same law, i can only speak for the uk specifically but i know its similar in america. its any screen that has the capability to play back live tv in view of the driver or something

Bruh, it's 2024, people are ready to invest their entire life savings based on a Elon Musk tweet... so they will definitely buy anything he sells.
