Well I think there are innovations there.
Electric cars are a huge innovation and comfort improvement when driving.
Cars could have way better entertainment systems.
Better integration with your phones is generally a feature people like
Advanced Automation like Autopilot are Super Cruise are popular and a useful technology
Modern active safety features are a great technology
Seems to its just that many automakers do a bad job on many of these things. Those that don't generally have less issues.

I feel like in car entertainment and phone integrations are a mismatch in industries, where cars should last 10-20 years or more, their software is going to be out of date in 5 years at best. It would take a system more like Tesla's to keep up, where they have constantly updating vehicle software. But you get that because you're a subscriber to their infrastructure, and you car is constantly internet connected.

The big issues they usually put together tons and tons of vendor software. Another big issue is that some of their lower level parts are not upgradable at all, so even if you can upgrade your main computer that does not mean you can be quite as complete as Tesla can be.
