It's honestly really stupid. I think that car manufacturers are trying to design their cars to look futuristic, while not understanding that the futuristic designs from the previous 30 years are impractical, fantastical, and stupid to pull into real life. You can really tell they aren't actually trying to improve based on user feedback when designing these things.

Nah, they are trying to save money. Every knob adds time and materials to the manufacturing process and thus loses money.

I agree for the interiors of the vehicles, but I'm not sure if the weirdly designed exteriors are more cost effective.

It's wild how the machine is starting to make its own decisions. There's no controlling it now. It lives, it breathes.

And before op could reply vd1n vanished into a cloud of cannabis vapor and fell asleep.
