Touch screens in cars was a bad idea. They’ve gone TOO far

[MR. SNIFLES]

I can show my parents something 10 times, they’ll forget it 11.

IF YOU BASE INNOVATION OFF OLD PEOPLE, WE WOULD STILL BE USING ROTARY PHONES.

OLD PEOPLE ARE NOT REALLY CONSIDERED WHEN INNOVATION HAPPENS. THEY ARE NATURALLY RESISTANT. YOU LIKELY WON'T WIN THEM OVER SO YOU KEEP IT MOVING. HIGH END LUXURY HAS ALWAYS BEEN PACKED WITH FEATURES AND BUTTONS. OLD PEOPLE COULDN'T WORK NONE OF THAT shyt EITHER.

FROM A BUSINESS STANDPOINT, YOU CAN'T MAKE CARS FOR THEM AND WIN. ANYONE 65 AND UP IS EXPECTED TO DIE IN THE NEXT 5 YEARS OR LOSE THEIR DRIVING PRIVILEGES. THE CARS THEY WOULD DRIVE DON'T EXIST ANYMORE. THEY WERE MONEY SINKS FOR CAR COMPANIES. THEY HAD TO SHRINK THEIR LINE UPS.

CAR COMPANIES TRIED TO SAVE THEM BY MAKING THEM PERFORMANCE VEHICLES BUT THAT ONLY WENT SO FAR. NOTICE THAT ALL OF THE SLEEPERS OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS HAVE BEEN CARS MARKETED TO OLD PEOPLE WITH CRAZY ENGINE CONFIGURATIONS. THE POINT WAS TO MAKE THE CARS USABLE WHEN THE ORIGINAL OWNER DIES.

Good idea

Just make sure you dyno that shyt to be sure he gives you one horsepower.

Bwahahaha putting a horse on a dyno is a wild thought. I'm in. Give him the neuralink to detune him back down to 1hp

Wheel controls should be fine for music as long as the heat and air aren’t on touchscreen

 

[null]

this was just about right

too much

 

[Marco Zen]

IMO the best set up is screens WITH physical redundancy like this:

Literally my car dash

Mazda baby

My truck has a huge touchscreen.

The only thing I worry about is anything that is software based has to receive firmware updates or it gets glitchy or outright inoperable over time.

How long do the updates take?
