I really hope some new manufacturer comes in to make cars "stupid" again.
- _chu1 4y agoChevy and Dodge still sell vans and trucks with basic radios (the latter of which I think is only in Mexico)
- gnicholas 4y agoSeeing what's happened with 'smart' TVs, I'm not holding my breath.
- zie 4y agoThe commercial vehicles market tend to still be "stupid". Of course this limits you to full size vans, big trucks, and things like that. I suspect "smarts" will infect these as well eventually, when it's just cheaper for the manufacturer to just include them in the build even when not asked for them.
- genocidicbunny 4y agoThere was a recent article about Toyota still making old-school Land Cruisers that have little to no electronics[0] I don't think they can pass emissions tests in Europe or US though, which would make them unusable, if not unimportable. 0: https://www.carscoops.com/2022/11/this-shop-in-gibraltar-modifies-classic-toyotas-for-the-u-n-and-other-aid-agencies/ https://www.carscoops.com/2022/11/this-shop-in-gibraltar-mod...
