There's several camps around tech in cars: those that just want a 1950's style simple cars and then there's those that love the integrated/connected systems and people in between that just want a latch for the glove box.
But surely no one wants a car that's as unreliable/flaky as modern apps and operating systems (I mean in general not just a model Y or a Tesla)?
As a software developer if I see bugs and errors in the ancillary systems, I'm going to start worrying about the break management system.
- averageRoyalty 3y agoI've done a lot of reading on this matter, and it's generally accepted to be battery saving limitations from phone/mobile OS makers rather than poor engineering on the car systems. That said, Teslas come with keycards designed to slot into a wallet, there's no smartphone requirement at all. It's actually less smartphone dependent than other car manufacturers, who lean on Carplay/Android Auto for rich features.
