Radio/music, map and general settings can be touchscreen only as those aren't usually changed mid-road. Except maybe the volume knob. But AC, lights, turn signals and wipers should absolutely be physical button only

Nah you need the tactile feedback seek button cause I'm constantly switching channels if I hear any kind of Ads.

Fuck Ads.

Also when the radio announcer does their BS pop culture stories or interviews, anecdotes and contests. I want to hear the music or news not some faggot interrupting every few minutes to talk retard shit.

The music channels doing this shit is why I stopped listening to radio altogether. Everything is basically pre-packaged bits that are purchased from a third party, nothing interesting or relevant to the local area, and the total lack of charisma from the hosts kills any other interesting potential (it doesn't help that any mention of anything vaguely off-color gets them shit-canned). And then they wonder why radio doesn't bring in the money like it used to.

Tl;dr every trend I hate in modern car interior design

Do people actually like having a knock off ipad run the car? I love having all sorts of buttons and gizmos to fiddle with, not to mention having an analog dashboard instead of a digital one. What is the point of a digital one if they are ugly and the car manufacturers won't make it easy to customize how it looks?

 

[Buttigieg2020]

It's shocking that Europe isn't doing the opposite of this.

The Netherlands installed an anti-green government, so this actually makes sense.

You probably won’t see this in elsewhere.

The most advanced things I want in my car are only 2 things: Cruise Control, and that little knob on the steering wheel you can use to adjust the volume of the radio, that's neat and handy.

The recent developments of putting buttons on the steering wheel is far nicer than the touch screen.

It's really not, it's because of EVs. They're heavy as shit and a van/small truck with 700kg of batteries having to fit into the old 3.5 ton limit means it has fuck all left for cargo.

I hear rumors that the DOT is becoming angry with touchscreen controls due to the fact it requires you take your eyes off the road.

If you had to strike a compromise with auto manufacturers, what controls must be in mechanical knobs/buttons and what others could you accept being in a touch screen?

Aside from what everyone else has said I would also force all cars to have an idrive style knob to control the screen.

1) Display/touch screen settings with the exception of brightness being a physical control, 2)Bluetooth/Hands-free setup since cars already require you to be in park to do so, 3) GPS controls since there really isn’t a practical non-touchscreen solution. Everything else can and should have a physical control.

I love the now-mandatory automatic warning on every new car Post-2024 now featuring an annoying alert every single time the vehicle is turned off that says HEY YOU DUMB HIGH AS FUCK CRACKHEAD NIGGER DID YA FORGET THE KIDS IN THE BACK SEAT>?????>!>?>!??!?!??!

Because apparently it is such a widespread, drastic problem killing tens of thousands of kids every year because people just forget they have children in the back seat that now every single vehicle made from now on has to have that mandatory warning device. But the touch screens where you have to use them on some vehicles to do *absolutely anything* are just fine.

Modern Chinese car Interiors are very Tesla-esque (probably why the Tesla does so well in Mainland China). Like, very little if any knobs/switches/buttons - nearly everything is controlled via a digital touchpad:

They look just like Teslas because the Chinese did what they do 100% of the time they see something they like - they embed agents in said company and steal all the intellectual property and produce their own knockoffs.

Ah the Mike Lee stuff.

On one hand, yeah the feds shouldn't be owning what should be state or private land. On the other hand, selling land to fix housing isn't the way to fix housing.

"Having more places to build more houses doesn't have anything to do with housing availability" is on the same plane of retardation as the globalist/leftist/whateverists claim that shoving 50 million immigrants into a country doesn't have any effect on housing and rental prices. It's self evident that it does. The only response to someone saying that isn't going down basic reasoning skills; it's just responding "Are you fucking retarded or something?"

Any make that respects the customer lets you turn off that warning, turn off the "Check surroundings" warning when in reverse, and turn off the screen entirely.

The only thing I'm somewhat surprised on is New Pakistan beating California to be the first to mandate the permanent "speed warning" device that monitors how fast you're going at all times and produces audible chimes whenever you're being naughty.

Those goofy niggers aint Christian they're one of those crazy Asian new religious movements where the founder says he's Christ.

Anyone who uses that FUCKING Breezewood picture for "muh cars" propaganda should be immediately discredited and repeatedly dunked in hobo diarrhea.

that FUCKING Breezewood picture

Isn't that pic ancient anyway? I swear I saw it for the first time more than a decade ago, if not earlier

I don't think Jason would know the difference. Remember when you're dealing with people who are so ignorant that they have no idea what religious denominations are or why people would favor different congregations.

/r/fuckcars left Charles Marohn behind a while back, but I'm pretty sure that Marohn believes in a higher power in the minimum, Jason not so much.

It's from 2008 (close to twenty years ago) but it still hosts a lot of outdated logos that were purged from their chains a while back which makes it look older. There's a red-and-yellow Shell logo (most of these went away in 2003), Subway (the current ones looks more similar to it, but the 2002 logo had taken over the chain by then), and Taco Bell (that was from the mid-1980s and was already rare by 2008).

Urbanists who probably have never been to the Maldives pop up in a RealLifeLore video about the Maldives.

Spoiler: YouTube comment debate

Urbanist argues that a personal car is unnecessary for an island "one can walk across in 20 minutes." Spoiler alert: one cannot.

Note the clown with a checkmark who doesn't compromise and advocates for a complete ban on cars.


Car advocate proceeds to get dogpiled. Notable comments below.

More clowns coming in to say people are wrong and cargo bikes solve all of their problems.


Working hard ≠ working smart. Maldivians (or at least people who have been there) have to explain why things are the way they are. As already seen in this thread, cargo bikes are not an efficient method- let alone a viable option here.


Surprisingly,
107,000 motorcycles and 7,500 cars are registered there. Registered, does not mean there's that much vehicles on the island.
The climate's heat and humidity make it especially difficult to walk, even on a small island.
Again, cargo bikes do not solve everything.
Bicycles are for losers.
It's easy to judge when one doesn't live there and don't understand the local's pain.
Urbanism is not a one-size-fits-all solution.

This whole debate implies that urbanists will screw over the working-class person out of ignorance if they were in charge of city planning.

Also, I can't seem to archive the video with the comments, so I'll leave it to someone else...
(Archive doesn't work on my end)

They literally use bikes for everything yet urbanists are still mad because they're gas-bikes, not e-bikes.
