You guys are scaring me.
In all seriousness, though, I'm currently car-shopping, and I would gladly pay a massive premium for a car with the minimum-viable amount of electronic/connected nonsense.
As far as I can tell, the only legally-required bit of electronic shenanigans is the backup cameras. I'd love a car that just had that, mechanical switches for everything else, and some USB-C/USB-A/aux ports where I can plug in my devices.

- UIUC_06 4y agoActually, my car has the parallel-parking assist, and I've learned to use it to get a perfect parking job, first time every time! So I've got that going for me, which is nice.
- userbinator 4y agoIf you're looking for an EV in particular I don't think there's much if any "dumb" models, but otherwise if you're not looking for a new car either, then there's plenty on the used and even classic/vintage market.
- JohnFen 4y agoThis. Increasingly, this is true of ICE vehicles, too. It's why I've pretty much given up on the idea of having a new car at all.
