To combat some of the anti-curious stances in this thread are there any new cars with too much digitization?
I would love something like a Tesla with a repl that I can program to do donuts; dynamically adjust the ride height from my Apple Watch, or just make the headlights flash in time to my music. Booting Urbit on the infotainment device is a bonus.
Basically a modern car for a hacker that still loves technology. Absolutely loved the Rally Motors concept as a kid. The Grenadier looks promising too. But I’m not aware of anything that’s computers + Hoonigan. The more digitization the better.
- t-writescode 5y agoTeslas have way too much digitalization. Anything where you can't flip a lever somewhere on the car to turn on your windshield wipers is a bad taste, to me. (edit: added this sentence) Another area, and I have no idea if Tesla, or any car company, does this: Anything that constantly phones home my speed or braking dynamics or gps or any other telemetry to *anywhere* - or even stores it for more than like an hour - is too much digitalization, to me. I probably lean more toward the "less digitalization" crowd, but I think those are things that can be seen as "too much" by most people.
