Hardware orgs, such as auto manufacturers, are often poor software providers. This is sad.

it's not a bug, it's a feature!

This might be a bit disingenuous but has any software in any car been worth the drive space it was installed on?

The untold amounts of complaints just on the software from various auto manufacturers is incredibly concerning to the point that I soon drive a car from the 90s into dust before I attempt to drive something with a lagging interface, or a complete screen failure leaving the car inoperable.

Some of the issues could be attributed to user error (working in IT I'm not stranger to that), but this push to screen everything is a huge step backwards in the automobile design philosophy.

100%, car audio infotainment systems are rubbish. Even brand new cars of today have screen blackouts, resets and camera failures. The driver then having to deal with the dealer who has no idea how the fix the problem either until the manufacturer issues a fix.

This why I'm a big fan of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, depending on which flavour device you have.
