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.
I don’t currently drive since I live in a city with great public transit but if i 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

Sadly yes and they’re mainly taking the worst aspects. Normal built in features like heated seats as subscriptions, dropping smartphone integration for their own far inferior dogshit UI and features, and so on.
No need for data grabbing AA/Carplay shit in my car, stock ui works superior. But give people the option
