Nonsense. Cars are more efficient than ever, have more features than ever, and in general as reliable as ever.
You cannot just look at the bottom line price and make conclusions that cars are getting more expensive and automation is just adding profits to the manufacturers.
- yardie 10y agoAnd why not? Most sensible people start with a budget and work their way from there. So yes, the price is absolutely a factor. All things being equal if the factory line is becoming more automated then where is the money being spent. It's not being spent in labor, it's not being passed back to consumers, the price of commodities has been relatively stable (steel, plastics, glass).
- lostlogin 10y ago> Cars are more efficient than ever. And a lot of that turned out to be crap. The efficiency seems to be improving, but it's not at a particularly impressive rate. Pretty match every other aspect of cars seems to have improved more. My personal favourite is the button that raises windows right up or right down at an extra hard press. I'm happy with that feature, so form opinions with that in mind.
