I just want a simple car. One without extraneous functions.
My old boss bought a brand new car that was in the shop for two of it's first four weeks. The issue? The capacitive touch sensor that operated the motorised glove box door was activating automatically because it was being confused by dust.
My shitty 15 year old VW's plastic glove box door has a metal latch and had never experienced this bug.
There certainly are places where technology and electronics can improve a car, but replacing one of the most basic, reliable mechanical functions such as a latch is arguably stupid. It's just adding numerous more failure points. It's form over function.
Radio/media and climate controls should not be on a f*ing touch screen either.
How tf are you meant to change the climate settings on a touch screen when not looking at it? Is this where the "touch" in "touch screen" comes in?
Yep, there are many legitimate use-cases for electronics in cars, but THIS is definitely not one of them!
Yeah I got my car 2012 right before you started to see everything in cars become computerized. It's a civic and still going strong.
Just sold my car to buy one with digital AC 🥲
F my brother
Heh, my 40 year old Deutz tractor has a metal latch on the glove box, and it will randomly flip open and hit me in the head while working in the field.
I would still prefer it over the motorized system you describe
