I hate unnecessary, poorly designed tech in my car.
Current tech design unnecessarily complicates and obscures what should be simple and easily accessible functions. That’s more than just irritating, it’s dangerous.
I mean, I get the sentiment, but that is just not going to be a realistic long-term solution for “people are not happy with changes in newer vehicles”.
That’s ok, I’m leaving the states in my boat at the end of the year and will only be back on a round trip flight. Fuck you, fuck you, you’re cool, fuck you, I’m outta here…
Unfortunately, this proposal is not going to change anything. The market will raise its prices and more money will be siphoned away.
What’s missing in the current housing market is regulations to strictly ensure only humans—not private equity firms—can purchase homes. And if you own more than one home, your property taxes increase for each extra home you own.

Funny that some cryptobros still think bitcoin is the currency of the people. That shit is controlled by the rich as well, including the banks that they claimed would be left out of the “crypto revolution”.
Depends on the tech. Touch screens? Those can go fuck themselves. Adaptive cruise control? I love that shit. Any backlighting beyond what’s necessary to see knobs and buttons in otherwise total darkness? Fuck you! Any backlighting that’s any color other than red? EXTRA fuck you! Backup cam? Yeah those are good. Backup cam screen that becomes some obnoxiously bright LCD display for the radio? No, fuck that.
Random side thought: a strict Eco mode only-when-pushed button would be pretty amazing. Eco mode kinda already forces your to drive like a grandma, but at the cost of responsiveness. Responsiveness is important if something catches you off guard, so if I slam on the gas suddenly, I want my car to fucking book it, cuz that probably means I’m trying to dodge something. That said, more often than not, when I’m accelerating from a stop or getting up to speed on the freeway, there’s not really any urgency… but I tend to accelerate faster than necessary (waste gas) because my monkey brain likes the zoom-zoom. I want like… idk, the equivalent of a push-to-talk button on the steering wheel for embracing my inner grandma. I push it when I’m actively assessing that there’s no urgency; my speed of acceleration will make only seconds of difference in my overall trip; and no matter how hard I pump that gas peddle, the uses only the most optimal amount of gas to get me up to and maintain speed. Then I take an exit into some busy downtown bullshit where there’s shit coming at me from every direction, and I need to be able to jolt to dodge the giant metal projectile piloted by the monkey brain a few car lengths away from mine.
Basically keep the “Oh shit!” actions free of as many inputs as possible; demand a bit more from the thinky chunk of meat in my head shell only when everything else is relatively chill.
When i got my last one i specifically asked for, and got, no electric or electronic “conveniences”. Even the doubledin stereo got removed and a singledin unit put in its place for fewer distractions or trackers. Oldschool rules.
