Volkswagen will restore physical buttons to the dashboard in its latest compact car, part of a wider move away from touchscreens.
In a particularly retro touch, the new ID Polo will even have a volume dial.
For a decade or so, automakers rushed to replace knobs and switches with screens, Autoblog noted in October, but users largely disliked them: Controlling the air conditioning, for example, required delving through submenus while driving, which was both difficult and dangerous. Research found that using touchscreens took longer and distracted drivers.
Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and VW have all announced plans to return to more tactile controls, and US and EU regulators announced last year that cars with touchscreen controls could get worse safety ratings.
Not a native English speaker but “dreamt” is past tense, so they stopped dreaming, implying they stopped because now we have “AI”.
If they used to dream something that they are still dreaming about, it is still “dreamt” in past-tense.
If I still “play” baseball every day, and I referring to a game, I say “I played baseball,” because it is in the past. You would not say “I play baseball game last week” even if you are still currently playing baseball.
Make sense? I mean this politely too, you mentioned English not being your first language.
“They dream …” means they dream at this moment.
“They are dreaming …” means they started to dream in the past and are still dreaming now.
“They dreamt …” means they were dreaming in the past, but are not dreaming now.
“They were dreaming …” means they started dreaming in the past, and might still be dreaming now.
If generative machine learning would be what they where dreaming about, then they would have finished dreaming, so you’d say dreamt.
If they were dreaming about full general AI, which doesn’t exist yet, they would still have to dream about it, hence they would be dreaming or just currently dream.
If you don’t know exactly what they were dreaming about and if they are still dreaming or not, you’d can only say they were dreaming about whatever they thought AI is in the past.
