      They’re going the John Deere route.

      They want all repairs done their way and
      no third party involvement.

      It’s gross.

      They did it to be proprietary and to force you to depend on them for making it work….oh, and doing that will cost you

      It cheaper and it trick people for a decade saying it advance and make car charge you more for least. While the cars for super rich have buttons.

      I rented a Mitsubishi outlander and it still felt like a 2010 car if thats what youre looking for

      Meanwhile father’s 1999 Toyota minivan is still chugging along, and suspect it will out last that car.

      There are a few reasons. Fewer parts and less wiring mean lower costs (theoretically). They have added more buttons to the steering wheel, and they are confident in their voice recognition software that assumes you can ask the car to do stuff. That is true for BMW (which owns Mini), but not my car. My car’s only button is the DNR, actually. It automatically turns on when I sit on the seat, and I swipe down only the screen for the air con.

      The rope is just a style choice.

      This must be a mini and you rented it from SIXT. I sat in the parking lot doing the same thing. Once I got it to go it was a pretty fun car.

      Mechanics out there, with all the new interior tech, (we won’t talk about the outside), but when a car gets decently fender bendered do all those electronics take damage? And if so, is the cost insane or just junked since it’s all digitally controlled?

      Lol. Thank God even the younger generations are like wtf?! Looks like a 2025 Mini Cooper Countryman.

      The “shifter” is the little toggle switch below and to the left of the big useless circle display.

      Enshitification is at all levels of tech.
      Could you imagine if the bobby pin was designed by Apple? It has been same for over a100 years, but if Apple owned it, it would be redesigned every other years and you would have to upgrade continuously.

      That’s the ugliest dashboard screen I’ve ever seen. Round. What’s next, a triangle shaped screen? 🤢

      I’m ok with my 2015 Camry even though it doesn’t have all that “intelligence”.

    27. Former_Specific_7161 on

      I love that BMW saw all the newly acquired space where the prndl has been and just slapped a long, useless, shallow strip of plastic there lol.

      Man, when I was working as a valet, we had some real stupid ones come in. I think It was a G-wagon, it had a knob for the gear shift that would automatically hide itself when the car wasn’t turned on. Best one was a Raptor with a train horn, the owner told me to honk it when I pulled it up.

      Poor desk clerk nearly died of a heart attack.

      Wait till there is paywalls for every feature you want to access on your own car. Wait till they start showing constant commercials on that screen. Wait till they disable your car until you pay a parking ticket. It’s enabling corporations to control your vehicle and control you.

      Call me old fashioned but I too wonder why the buttons and dials are phasing out. Touch screen just locks too many features away behind a screen that could die or break. As an entertainment control it’s fine. But nowadays the essential functions of the car are locked to the screen. Seems risky

    45. Easy_Alternative_907 on

      Touch screens need to be removed from cars. If it gets hit, or malfunctions, you cant control anything.
