love how looking at phone screens is (rightfully) considered bad while driving, but then they just put a big fucking tablet on cars.
I hate how they don't give you a choice in the matter.. Just give me basic controls, then sell a bespoke android tablet that mounts in the car. I thought car companies love to push extras?
But if it just mounts in the car they can't tell you that you will need a new car because your built-in tablet doesn't get updates anymore.
Nah push it as the "hi-tech" package or some such nonsense, "way better than our base model with the old world knobs." Comes just like in the pic, but have both models.
Then you can sell it for more money to the dumb dumbs and let the people who know what is good in life have that sweet knob action.
Except they could be pushing a new tablet every few years. Like you need this tablet to unlock full self driving
Why would you do that if you can instead sell people a whole new car?
No no no, they only push "extras" that are already included in the car so they can charge more for doing nothing. This requires doing something.
