Ugh… He’s not impressed with the gasoline free, infinitely superior propulsion technology - he’s impressed by how much the in vehicle systems are like smartphones.
I threw up a little. We’re never escaping this bullshit.
I hate this chasing of overly complicated and excessive software in cars. The only touchscreen I want in my car is the one that let’s me run Android Auto for GPS and music. Everything else should be tactile analog switches and dials. Whichever person thought touchscreens are a safe UI choice in a fast moving death machine is insane.
Rest of the world if you live in Europe or China where they have enough bargaining power from their size I suppose. Doubt this will work in smaller countries and regions. Only hope is that the manufacturers feel that it’s not worth it to make 2 different models of the same car.

There’s still hope for the rest of the world

They did that just to fuck over Tesla in China.
Amen.
Stop providing distractions to the assholes around me, they are dangerous enough as it is.
Touchscreens are cheaper to install than tactile buttons. That’s the draw for carmakers.
