Touch screens, or really screens period, don't belong in cars.

My Subaru has one They die gracefully and permit vital functions like the backup camera to continue to work in a failure situation I suspect that whatever trash tesla sourced doesn't work as good as the Denso systems

If you play enough japanese video games on PCs you'll see people bitch about how japanese programmers just don't know how to do computers right The Denso cockpit control poo poo I've seen says otherwise, I've never seen a vital car system fail. Sometimes it may take six seconds for my XM stereo to start. That's fine.

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:Denso sells entertainment systems that control the entire car. My Subaru has one tesla already had a load of touchscreens fail because they were writing gigabytes of data to the computer's flash memory every time you so much as honked the horn and it exceeded the number of write cycles the cheap rear end flash memory could handle

Saab had the right idea, if you can't tell what the control does while wearing gloves and watching the road the control is poorly designed.

If I ever buy another car (and I'm sure I'll have to because this is America), I want an EV because I'm not a monster. But I don't know if they're going to make new cars without touchscreens after a certain point. So I can't necessarily buy an old car, but I don't want a new one either.

EVs aren't a solution. The planet cannot continue to withstand the resource extraction and destruction associated with building 76 million automobiles a year regardless of what powers them. The only solution is to return to pre-1940s patterns of living and building out our habitats but no one wants to say it because it's political suicide - despite the fact that people prefer those environments when they're let loose in them in a politically-neutral fashion.

Undoing that means money, which means they're going to fight those changes tooth and nail even if it costs more to lobby against it than it does to change it.

The city I live in had a clean electric fleet of over 650 trams in 1962 they were all thrown away and the tracks were all dismantled. Many of the trams in question (PCC cars) were sold to systems in other countries and still operate The measures we need to take were SOP not that long ago but it is political suicide to suggest we go back to them

 This was about 3,000 feet from where my house stands now. All the trolley infrastructure and the parking lanes were torn out and now this is a five lane stroad where people crash their cars four or five times a week because people are hitting 60mph between traffic lights.

Even if it's fake, who cares? If you agree with a sentiment that will massively improve the lives of lots of people with zero downside since drivers being miserable or not has nothing to do with the outside world, boost it, don't be some Nate Silver rear end nerd

If you have to have a car, get a used small lightweight diesel or gas car. Dont buy new. Also EVs suck, since other than local smog emissions, which can be mitigated by not driving, they are worse in every-way.
