It's cheaper to program a button to work off a screen than to do the internal wiring and install actual buttons as well as insure those buttons and the overall wellbeing of the car. Its fake luxury and its cheaper for brands to use screens rather than buttons
Exactly my point🤝 I think luxury manufacturers shot themselves in the foot by making this the standard. By making pioneering the latest tech the new standard for luxury, it leveled the playing field because what car doesn’t have a screen with infotainment software that’s halfway decent nowadays? Some even offer a better UI than the luxury cars and since it’s cheaper to develop that kinda stuff, luxury manufacturers are facing stiffer competition from players that werenMt considered anywhere close to their level 5-10 years ago like acura, genesis, cadillac, and the likes.
Governments: Driving while being in the phone is extremely dangerous,reckless and put everyone at risk. You should never under any reason move your eyes and line of sight off the road for your phone. Never get distracted with anything. Keep your eyes on the road all times. Also Governments: Yea. You can put a MASSIVE TV SIZE IPAD ON THE MIDDLE OF THE CAR. Put it for your driver-side and passenger side too. That's good and we approved this How for real. Who thought the passenger getting a screen was a good idea?. Like why? That's the purpose of that shit?. So you can flex to your friends how fast you're going?. It's stupid as hell. I'm never buying a car with screens on my speedometer or passanger side or a huge massive TV Size ipad that replace all my analog knocks and buttons. Gonna keep rocking my Cooper S 2016
Funny I come from a time of pull out radios, and when we finally got aftermarket screen you had to trick out to play video and drive.... police hated it , because at that time it was considered a distraction and would be ticketed.... now every vehicle from factory has screens and more distractions than ever..
That’s crazy because this was hardly 2 decades ago, I remember being a toddler seeing tricked out cars like this at car shows with screens in the sun visors and and shit😂 playing the music video for whatever song was on, neon lights everywhere, and it was probably on a mitsubishi eclipse, new edge mustang, or bubble chevy lol. Then in 2016 mercedes decided to start offering that standard from factory lol.

I just want an interior similar to a FK8 Honda Civic Type R. Not too much tech, killer seats, physical buttons. I don’t even find the interior of my 2013 Toyota Corolla LE to be lacking in most aspects, it’s just a bit plain.
@@RedRidesMTB ngl I wasn’t that big of a fan of the fk9 interior and I just drove a type r last week as a reminder. That whole generation of honda was plagued with bad infotainment too. That being said, I drove it back to back with a focus rs and while the rs was slightly faster, the type R had so much more emotion.
@@2moke2creen yeah lol, at least I did. Honestly the fl9 interior isn’t terrible either though. Very similar to the integra which is also underrated. Screen placement still coulda been better though.
I have Hellcats, and Scat Packs, and while compared to other cars theyre old school, Im still sick of screens. I daily a Grand Marquis and an XJ. No screens at all. Im not buying new cars anymore. Im even thinking of buying used cars (for daily use, once the Marquis is too nice and too classic to ruin), and gut the interior, build something out of wood, put a boombox in the center console, CD player or whatever, and wire a speedo and tach, using some clocks and thats it. Maybe wrap it in some nice leather, or who knows, just stain and seal the wood, and be done.
I think It's all conditioning to take away the driving experience. The more they make you excited about the tech they want people to think they need, the less the driver wants control of the driving experience, giving way for it to be commandeered by someone/something else. Just my opinion🤷♂️
Idrive 6.5/7 was the best BMW interior imo infotainment wasn’t too gimmicky the screens were designed with the dash now they come with no gear shifter and a giant gaming monitor
@Blankhspec BMW went from designing the GOAT infotainment due to its speed, reliability, and ergonomic design to the exact opposite in just a few generations 🤦
The difference being that the invention of cars changed the world, the inclusion of LED lights and a tv to play netflix on in the dashboard wasn’t nearly as influential or necessary for global transportation needs.
What's even weirder is that regular people love screens in their cars. I live in the Balkans (eastern europe), and everybody's putting cheap screens and RGB's in their E60 BMW's and Golfs.

I’ve seen that, people will buy single hump e90 bmws and cut a hole in the dash to put an f30 style screen on it and it looks so tacky.

@Vincetagram Car culture here is a joke. Very few people actually have respectable builds. Most people like having blacked out taillights, window tint and the worst sounding exhaust possible. Also every car here, even regular traffic has some form of ECU Remaps.
I think the new ones are over designed and overcomplicated and most of the basic functions of the car are now behind a screen with endless slides like a damn programing software.
Agreed & they deliberately use rubbish touch screens that will be outdated tomorrow because it is engineered obsolescence hoping you will upgrade ASAP to keeps sales revenue up...
Brooooo, this is exactly what I'm talking about regarding modern interior design in cars. Screens do not make a car more luxurious and if anything makes it look cheaper and it drives me nuts.
They do because repair costs can be less expensive for the manufacturer and make the car lighter and Telsa update their car with new features that more expensive companies have in thier cars but for free and you can use the voice commands to change the temperature in the car you don’t have to touch the screen all the time
@@alstonmiller212 there’s so much they could do regarding weight before they take buttons away tho, and it’s not like tesla is the only company that can wirelessly update the infotainment, that has nothing to do with the screen size, placement, and dashboard/center console design. They could put a cellular/wifi module inside the 3rd brake light if they wanted to and shit would still get updated. Also, voice commands often suck.
Can't disagree with you bro, I said this about lower end cars if you look at Toyota in the 2010s all their dashes were just cookie cutter from car to car and then there was jag and land rover, two different brands, same infotainment. Car companies need to do better and stop being lazy

Worst part is people think the screens are more luxurious when really it's cheaper for manufacturers to put everything in a screen
And guys, don't forget every older car has an option for a "tesla screen" to buy on Amazon or Ebay.
