    I absolutely love tech shit and touchscreens and LEDs and…I’m a total nerd for many decades now. But in a car? I fucking hate it. I want haptic buttons. Period. My previous car was totally digital, I was weak, with complete digital cockpit and no fucking haptic buttons. I hated this car once the wow-factor wore off quickly. Sold it and got myself a tiny compact car with just android auto for navigation. The rest is haptic buttons. Basically no car above entry or compact level is like that anymore. I fear the future…

        1990-2020 I can really see. 2050 not so much. But it will be less cars as poorer people, or people who only buy dumb cars will be left out. The good old mechanic things that last forever with good care are over. Now good luck to get a 7000,- cockpit replacement for your 15yrs old electric vehicle. Oh right, who cares, batteries are already borked.

        Really depends on where. Computer with touch? Nope. Car? Nope. Phone? Both please. Tablet? Yes. Any kitchens appliance? Hell no.
