On one hand, the connectivity is awesome.
But on the other hand, I haven't kept a phone in my possession for more than 3 or 4 years. And these are wayyy more expensive than phones.
I think there's a real market for "regular" cars powered by electric motors. Just take my truck, rip out the drivetrain and put in electric motors and battery. Same old door handles, same regular window buttons, same regular radio.
I'd drive that thing until the battery catches on fire (er, I mean the wheels fall off).

- toomuchtodo 8y agoThere is a market for electric conversions, but the retrofit cost puts in out of reach for the consumer market.
- intopieces 8y agoI have the opposite fear: that we're entering the age of car interfaces that have to be constantly updated. Like my grocery store changing its layout, I don't want to re-learn how do the only 4 things I do with my car's interface: change the A/C, Turn on NPR, set my destination, reject a phone call. If I could teach it to do all of these automatically, I'd turn the display off....
- EADGBE 8y agoNo question it's nice... But I can't seem to keep a mobile phone over a long period of time without it feeling more slow and buggy. I think the updates have everything to do with that.
