For over a century, the automobile has represented freedom, power, and the thrill of mechanical mastery. The connection between driver, machine, and road defined what it meant to own and love a car. But in today’s digital era, a different trend is unfolding. Cars are no longer just machines designed to take us from point A to point B. Increasingly, they resemble something else entirely: smartphones on wheels.
aand this is why I won’t buy a car made after 2010.
Eh, my early g9 civic is nice, though I think they ruined it only like coupla years later with cell radios.
I don’t current drive since I live in a city with great public transit but if was forced to get a car it wouldn’t be made after 2006. I like buttons and don’t want to spend $400 replacing my rear view mirror because its linked to my touch screen for no damn reason
Don’t forget the transformation from a 5 buck bulb to a 1000 buck complete LED-system. Yay!
Imagine a car without cellular connectivity
Archive link to an FAQ for the Slate electric trucklette that claims no sim cards and minimum digital bits. No clue if it will be a good vehicle so don’t take this as an endorsement. https://archive.ph/PMKpC
Anyone know other options?
Suzuki Jimny, still comes in a very basic electrical system
You mean, like the car that I drive currently? It’s pretty tough to picture, honestly.
Tough to picture? Maybe improve your arts skills.
Have they ever made an electric car that didn’t have that fucking SHIT ?
It’ll be interesting to see how Slate does, if it makes it to production.
It’s DoA. At 20, they kinda make sense. At 27 without the EV credit you could be buying a maverick.
If they are, would that make old cars giant feature phones on wheels?
It has wheels so the computer doesn’t touch the ground you know.
Shit headline. “No” is the answer. Let’smoved on.
