    You all love troubleshooting computer problems right? Well, we replaced everything in your car with computers so you can always be troubleshooting! Yay capitalism!

        Is it plugged in? Unplug it!

        In case you accidentally unplugged it while already plugged, do not unplug it a second time unless its before noon on a Tuesday.

      Well, if computers worked as well as this shit you wouldn’t be using it to work tomorrow with billions other people.

      Computerizing cars isn’t a bad idea in itself. Fuel injection, ABS, airbags and so mamy more features that make todays cars so much safer and less polluting all use computers to function. It’s just we live in an enshittification era.

        Screens aren’t a bad idea either. Displaying diagnostic values or at least error messages is always preferred to just an LED or code on the odometer. Not everyone has OBD readers.

        Touchscreens, though? GTFO.

          I don’t even hate touch screens for the shit you need to be parked to do. For everything else give me buttons

            Yeah, my parents got a Hyundai Kona last year and they’ve managed to balance physical buttons and a touchscreen pretty well. Hazard lights, windows, the AC, and all the steering wheel and stalk controls are physical. It’s not perfect but they also looked at a Volvo EX30 and that thing was basically a Tesla copycat. I would hate to drive one of those.

            Nah man, I want to drive and control all of the cars functions using an N64 controller. Make it 2000’s transparent purple as well.
