People are getting fed up with all the useless tech in their cars - Lemmy.world

For the first time in 28 years of JD Power’s car owner survey, there is a consecutive year-over-year decline in satisfaction, with most of the ire directed toward in-car infotainment.

No joke, I walked into vw dealership couple years ago to test drive the ID.3, nearly ready to buy it by end of 2021 (replace my eGolf).

The interior controls and their ergonomics were shockingly bad. Unlit touch strips for volume and temp, touch buttons on steering wheel, mirror adjust switch that freely rotate so you don’t know which mirror is adjusting, only two power window switch to control four windows on driver door, gear shift that’s totally hidden by steering wheel…

Just awful.

Jesus, touch buttons on the steering wheel it’s the most asinine type of control ever, you be activating this suit by accident all the time.

He seems to always be like this. I already recognize the username, and not for positive reasons.

Thanks for the heads up. I blocked him, life is too short to waste time with assholes.
