Smart tech in general is annoying and dumb. I want my TV to just be a tv with inputs, I don't need built in firmware and updates to shove ads in my face. I don't want my car to have a touch screen to adjust the A/C, just give me a knob or buttons.
I DO NOT WANT MY TV TO HAVE A FUCKING CAMERA OR A MICROPHONE
We need electric vehicles with the interiors and exteriors copied from consumer cars from the 90s.
Like that Hyundai concept? That thing was rad. I'd drive the hell out of an EV that looks like an AE86.
Oh man, I had never seen those concept cars before, literally EXACTLY what I want in a vehicle lmao
I think that one is pretty popular. Popular "smart" products are usually only smart to and make the manufacturer some extra scratch after sale.
And car touchscreens are either disliked, considered a status symbol, or considered necessary in order toobtains another feature. Very few people actually like them.
100% agreed.
Like, cram android onto an underpowered SOC and it's just incredibly frustrating to use.
Car-ware is the absolute worst. I remember reading an article on Hacker News 10 years ago saying they should just be a blank canvas that our cellphone decides what goes on it.
