If You’ve Got a New Car, It’s a Data Privacy Nightmare

Touch-screens can be updated later, meaning you can release the broken version first, then get it working after the money starts rolling in. Knobs would require they get it right the first time. The horror!

I will never buy a car that forces me to navigate a menu to turn on my windshield wipers...

I'm "looking forward" to having manufacturers change the location of virtual buttons every few updates.

Android Auto has already changed its home row buttons three times since 2019..

Problem is, they don’t actually upgrade the touchscreens. At least not after the first couple years. And most consumers don’t/won’t know how to upgrade them.
