Well touchscreens will show you new, better organized or painted buttons (with the power of FOSS of course). Surely you don't wanna swap half of your dash every time someone comes up with something better?
- ggg9990 8y agoHow much is my car UI really going to improve over 10 years? Without some kind of revenue model, the manufacturer wants you to upgrade, and there isn't really anything that's actually useful that can ship post-build without installed hardware (eg blindspot warning, rearview camera)
- gear54rus 8y agoFor those who don't believe in improving UI, there still exists a possibility of tweaking the stock to suit one's needs.
- WalterBright 8y agoCar UIs get worse over time, not better. On my dodge, if I want AC, I just roll down the window. It never goes on the fritz.
- gear54rus 8y ago> Car UIs get worse over time, not better. Unsubstantiated claim of the year. "Everything there was to be discovered is already discovered".
- WalterBright 8y agoI don't need a 150 page manual to operate the older ones. The new ones all have these stupid icons that I have no idea what they mean. If only there was a method for putting text, like "defroster", on buttons!
- pjc50 8y ago"Better" for whom? This is how we got Windows putting adverts in the start menu. Someone's going to start putting unskippable adverts in car AC controls next.
- gear54rus 8y agoNope, you got windows putting adverts in the start menu because of weak-willed 'consumers' tolerating oppressive crap that is win10. There is nothing wrong with using Linux or Win7 on desktop right now.
