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.

The lag in general auto dash's has been a problem even in 2014 models at least it stayed exactly the same.

Sadly now its actually worse. (is a bit like iPhones, the software gets slower but you don't notice as the hardware got faster if you stay on the upgrade train)

And with that said even Tesla can't get away from this, but its from their own doing. The 5+ year old cars have Atom CPU's for the infotainment which was zippy in the past but with new features being added. Those systems can't provide the parallel speeds now supplied on the new AMD CPU's and start to lose that instant feeling.

How do I know, I test drove that last batch of Model S's on the 2nd hand market in Australia and the gui is not fluid and it shows when the owners were frustrated using it themselves as well as they all wanted the latest model.
