Hey, I did my part in the 21st century, bought several new cars.
I’d buy another one, but… too darn expensive.
I’m also turning into a luddite. While I have grown to really like my backup camera, that’s about the good use of the LCD display in my car. Vast majority of my driving does not need maps… thankfully I still have knobs and buttons for HVAC.
I realize that LCD’s and much of this tech is not expensive when mass produced, and probably not what is driving the purchase price—but they sure have the possiblity of being major repair cost drivers. Low rate of failure times high repair cost if it fails = still a hurting wallet. A commonly occurring failure (wearout on belts, hoses, coolant, bearings of various kinds) can have that cost spread out over years while being reasonably “cheap”, while a sudden failure of a high dollar item is, well, sudden.
