My old car had a headlight switch. You turned it on. The headlights came on.Now the car, the sensors, and the dashboard all need a meeting before anything happens.

Everything in Cars Got Too Smart.
I Miss the Headlight Switch
Cars Used To Have Buttons. Remember That?
Back then, turning on the heat in your car required one skill: pressing a button. Now you need three menus, a software update, and emotional stability just to change the temperature.
Back Then a Key Was a Key
My old car key cost a couple bucks to replace. This one needed a battery, a computer, and apparently a financial advisor.
My Steering Wheel Has Opinions Now
Back then the steering wheel listened to you.
Now the car has opinions. 🚗
My dashboard has more icon than my phone
My first car had a speedometer and a gas gauge. This one has menus, warnings, updates, and enough icons to run a small country.
My mechanic brought a laptop
My car used to break. A mechanic fixed it.
Now the mechanic needs a laptop, a diagnostic scan, and an update before anybody touches a wrench
