New car prices are now simply outrageous. Auto makers need to start ditching features and get their unit costs back down.
- omosubi 10mo agowhat features in entry level cars do you suggest they get rid of?
- ethbr1 10mo agoUltrasonics, eye monitors, electronic locks, self-contained infotainment systems (just a screen and the interfaces for a phone would be fine), lane keeping, auto-braking
- dzhiurgis 10mo agoAll of these are required by law
- RandomBacon 10mo agoSource? Considering that not all cars for sale have all of those features, I'm pretty confident in saying that you're wrong. Back-up cameras are required by law, so that requires a screen, but the law does not require that screen do double-duty as an infotainment screen.
- ethbr1 10mo agoPerhaps. But there was a time they weren't required by law, and people still managed to drive.
- AngryData 10mo agoOnly auto-braking among those has been made law, and it won't take effect for atleast 4 more years, provided it stands intact that long.
