I find it weird that sunroofs and large touchscreens start with 2nd base model but for functional features like rear camera, rear defogger and wiper, one has to go for upper variants.
Key takeaway from complex ingenious car systems - Create problems and then solve them. At this rate, reliability will be the new luxury. Now I have more gratitude for my humble pre-pandemic ICE cars.
I'm glad that he mentioned better audio quality over wired connection - i can confirm that my music sounds far better with a wired connection on my custom audiophile setup.
Much needed for India and in Honda I have seen some things cannot be changed by anyone in a moving car and requires handbrake to be on to operate so that is another way to prevent hazards while driving as the distraction levels have increased
That's why the EU is so good to live in. They have high taxes, sure. But provide a very high standard of life. Unlike India, where taxes are more than even Switzerland itself.
What I want in a car : High performance, reliable engine. Easy to maintain. Physical buttons and knobs. Hide-able displays (just large enough for navigation). Analog dials. Manual gearbox. Hydraulic parking brake. What car companies want me to have : Poor engines with low reliability. Impossible to perform basic maintenance upon, without professional tools. Everything built as a software on a large touchscreen. Electronic parking brake. [Basically everything that saves them money in production, and makes them money continously].
Sir Let us agree that all car manufacturers removing physical buttons n bringing most of control in touch screen software Now in turn it is mandatory to bring lot of Safety measures like 6 Air bags, dual disc breaks, ADAS 2 drive, better steel used in car etc So let us accept this n have the more safest car V need to live with new normal
Of course the real DNA of cars had gone away 🤦 now all are gadgets. Recently i have seen an issue somewhere that is related to kia's touch screen, an authorised service centre quoted 42k for replacing the touch screen system and nowadays all manufacturers are curtailing their physical button and all the essential buttons incorporated to the touch screen itself this makes scary situations like if the touch screen got damaged u can't even on your air-conditioner or other needful actions and the replacement cost for these types of big screens make huge financial damage to the pocket.......
And unfortunately because of Hyundai and Kia other brands are forced to compromise on good things of a car to give stupid things to attract customers as customers in india are just stupid They value things in correctly and some fault in reviewers who value some features more than what is actually needed in cars
The main reason we don't enjoy using touch screen is because we have to use our left hand, for western countries it is still better because of Left hand side drive.
I believe you missed the biggest factor which would be subscription based services like BMW tried to implement which is likely to be easily introduced in a infotainment system and would likely to make car cheaper
The biggest thing I'm looking forward to is Car to X tech to become a necessity in cars... that would make navigation, parking, emergency response, deliveries, policing the traffic etc so much more amazing and safer. Imagine your car knowing the chatting to other card via AI to know if the road is congested or not... I swear, next 20 yrs will be a tech revolution I'm grateful to be born at the right time of...3
Loved the episode. I always think, what next in car tech? Well looks like there is a lot to look forward to. Makes me feel I'm short-sighted. Thanks for the insights !

I don't mind big screens but haptic buttons are distracting especially on gloss. Big let down in this generation of cars. Also safety wise 2 separate sunroofs better than a single panoramic unit. If budget allows a screen is preferred over sunroof. 😅
Pretty soon, we will be having a steering that is inside a screen - touch-screen steering :D Q: Do we see tech. assisting (safe) driving - heavy rains, snow etc. when generally all the sensors go off and everything is left to the driver's discretion. Will tech assist in some-way by displaying the road ahead (in case of no/low lights), heavy rains/water logging etc.
Across India, in urban spaces/ city, the maximum speed limit should be 40km/hr i.e. 11 meters per second. Most Indian cities, urban spaces don't have footpaths for pedestrians.
Car manufacturers offering goodies instead of improving the driving experience. Day by day cars are becoming more gadget oriented and tech oriented rather than giving driving pleasure. I think middle variants of any car are best value for money variants i guess. Instead they can give us the customisation of extra selection of the features. Not eveyone requires sunroof but want to try ADAS. Like this they can arrange some features which can loaded. But yeah we have to thank them by providing innovation in every segment
So annoying to see way too much useless tech being added without our choice. Nobody needs a screen which is as long as the dashboard. Music, Navigation that's it. Bring back physical controls.
But wouldn't it be better to have the front seat passenger looking out or keeping an eye on the road just in case the driver suffers a momentary lapse of concentration.
SU7 is a funky car, doesn't matter if the design is a blatant rip off. But then Xiaomi is as much a car manufacturer as Nike is a shoe manufacturer. The actual manufacturing is done by BIAC one of the largest car manufacturers in China, which apart from their own car brands also jointly manufactures vehicles for Merc and Hyundai
More I listen to this podcast more I hate what they are doing to the cars. Next gen os Absolutely hate that idea. From engine specs to Qualcomm chips and processing power 🥲 where are we going ,?
Very nice and relevent discussion. The response and views depends on who you are. If you are a 70 year old the chances are you are unhappy with too many functions inside the car and most of these being controlled by the touch screen. It is a distraction with potential for sensory overload and accident and it happens. How many accidents occur every year with people talking or sending sms on their mobile, while driving? Too many around the world. Touch screens are no different. If you ask a 30 year old, they are perfectly happy with touch screen with multiple functions. They are used to multi tasking in the car while driving, a nightmare for a 70 year old in the backseat. My son has given me many a heart attacks! "Why can't you keep your eyes on the road and hands on the steering wheels?", being my typical response. When Tesla puts turn indicator button on the idiot screen my patience has come to its limit. I dread to think what is in store for us oldies in the next two decades! I dread the day when you don't buy a car but a big screen with wheels, in which you are driven around (yes by the screen)!😊

A good point on the 5g integration in cars, but who is going to bear the cost of this data consumption?
MG is the guy who started this as automobile engineer I won’t support to much electronics which questions the reliability of the cars . It’s completely machine coupled with moving parts. It’s all gimmicks I second these folks
If u don't want tech heavy just opt out from top end model with highest price...if u pay less u would definitely get everything manually controlled in most cars
I think this is going like food industry. Fast food ki aadat dalke ab organic ke health beneftis bata rahe similarly First they will give us the screens and the tech shit and later sell “ Organic button and analog dials at Vintage prices.” Archive this comment dosto -2030s main kaam aaegi
No need of touchscreen... Only need display in speedometer for map.. And fast Bluetooth pairing with good speakers... No need of infotainment with touchscreen
The way to go will be a minimalistic design like Tesla, one large 12 inch screen for navigation. Physical controls on steering and less clutter on the dashboard.

I've never seen a person look young and old at the same time. . . . This dude is cool 😂
Hahaha my thoughts too
Which dude?
Sun roof is also becoming larger as well 😂😂😂 with so much dust around not sure why we need this in India
Absolutely, no need for sunroof, at least in India

Cabin feels airy. More natural light, natural air (if you are not in city). It's rare that a lot of people do something without a reason.

Need of the hour topic... Hope it reaches many and people actually consider buying cars for what is good in a car instead of Infotainment and speakers
I'm glad that he mentioned better audio quality over wired connection - i can confirm that my music sounds far better with a wired connection on my custom audiophile setup.
I have read that from 2026 UK is implementing a legislation to limit the size of the touch screens in cars to combat distracted driving.
Much needed for India and in Honda I have seen some things cannot be changed by anyone in a moving car and requires handbrake to be on to operate so that is another way to prevent hazards while driving as the distraction levels have increased

My need is just good music and navigation.
Same what else is needed
What I want in a car : High performance, reliable engine. Easy to maintain. Physical buttons and knobs. Hide-able displays (just large enough for navigation). Analog dials. Manual gearbox. Hydraulic parking brake.
What car companies want me to have : Poor engines with low reliability. Impossible to perform basic maintenance upon, without professional tools.

A very knowledgeable and articulate guest. Quite impressive.

7 Inches is where i draw the line. Anything more is a distraction and offers no real benefit
Pause
That's what she said.....

Thank you for another wonderful podcast. Best wishes always.
The main reason we don't enjoy using touch screen is because we have to use our left hand, for western countries it is still better because of Left hand side drive.
Great content. Such an immersive conversation.

All & everything is well said 👏

I am 31 years old but I can say that cars back in 80s and 90s were much better. Yes the safety today is better but back then, the cars had characters!

Awesome Content 🤘🏻💯🚗
Goodmusic
Navigation
360 camera
Tpms
And good brakes
That it all cars needs
Whether u get wireless Android auto or carplay depends on the variant you buy, very true for tata cars
Modern cars are tech heavy. Unfortunately a customer walking into a showroom is showered with tech USP’s of product which are not going to be used.
Nice one
Im going to buy wheels for my mobile.
Good 👍 One
Pretty soon, we will be having a steering that is inside a screen - touch-screen steering :D
Q: Do we see tech. assisting (safe) driving - heavy rains, snow etc. when generally all the sensors go off and everything is left to the driver's discretion. Will tech assist in some-way by displaying the road ahead (in case of no/low lights), heavy rains/water logging etc.
10.25 inches??? Anything bigger than 2 inches is humoungous ...... 🥰

As of now the screens are a trend. But soon enough, manufactures and car owners will recognize the safety hazard wrt screens.
Car manufacturers offering goodies instead of improving the driving experience. Day by day cars are becoming more gadget oriented and tech oriented rather than giving driving pleasure. I think middle variants of any car are best value for money variants i guess. Instead they can give us the customisation of extra selection of the features.

@autocarindia can you please do a podcast related to adas in indian cars
Please make a podcast on Force motors as their whole history as Bajaj Tempo motors, the traveller and so on.......

It’s all gimmicks I second these folks
Today's EVs and cars overall are trying to be smartphones on wheels.
The ideal car would be the equivalent of a Casio F91W. #iykyk
TBH, other than Navigation, we don’t need these screens for any other essential features
Looking for Automatic base models in all segment cars 😊
If u don't want tech heavy just opt out from top end model with highest price...if u pay less u would definitely get everything manually controlled in most cars
Touch screen for ac and volume shud be criminalized
What happens if screens got crashed in accidents and you need to operate some essential functions.. the buttonless models are senseless.
Sorry, but here in India, what every car user (driver/passenger) needs is a good (& obviously safe) road.
Please be on time! I've waited for this for sooo long!
I think this is going like food industry.

First!
All useless features while diesels and 4 cylinder engines are culled out.
Yes, loosing the fun of driving a pure manual car
That's okay
You can buy base variant without any tech!
