Drivers Hate The Tech In Their Cars

It turns out that more technology in cars isn’t necessarily something customers want, and it’s not really improving their driving experience. We know my thoughts on the matter, but I’ll do my best to stay impartial on this latest survey from JD Power that shows most customers don’t appreciate technology in cars unless they can see a clear benefit to them.

JD Power’s 2024 U.S. Tech Experience Index Study evaluated over 81,000 drivers’ experience with “advanced vehicle technologies” in 2024 model year vehicles after 90 days of ownership, It turned out to be a pretty mixed bag when it came to what people liked using. There are a number of tech features that customers like using because they feels that it answers their needs, but at the same time there is a whole lot that don’t get used very often or are continually annoying, according to the survey.

I don’t mind most of the tech on my truck but I did go in and disconnect the LTE antenna so it can’t phone home any more

First thing I do to my next car, circumsize all the antennas at the root.

That is going to break at some point.

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”.

Yeah and the sun is going to burn out at some point, too.

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…

Mine has a clock and an FM radio but mostly just loads Android Auto, it also has a physical volume knob.

Any attempts I’ve seen to deviate in any way from this solution have resulted in a worse experience.
