I FUCKING HATE MODERN CARSWHAT THE FUCK IS THISSHIT
it's an embedded linux tablet running some kind of retarded flash/java/html bouillabaisse.
Android tablet-on-whels
>>28212617your fault for buying a mazda
>>28212617You either daily something old and commit to learning how to maintain it, or submit yourself to the rolling panopticon. Such is modernity.
>>28212617haha whatmy giulia doesn't have that level of electrical jank
>>28212617Tape a picture of Ryan gosling riding in a car with hatsune miko while she’s suuuuuuper pregnant over it.
>>28212617> messages> calendarWe get exactly the world we deserve.
>>28212649>>28212617This is the one.
>>28212617If you own an Apple product you're partly to blame for this.
>>28212617Was in a nu-cedes (2025 GLC300) today. The menu is legit just a phone screen with app icons. The "apps" were just various ways to access the settings menu. Modern cars cater to the absolute lowest common denominator, in this case millennial phone-whores.Even the, at times horrendous, tacky shit of the 70's was either [conservative white female] or [hipster dude]THIS shit is just the slop of slops, a condensed microcosm of post-'07 modernity. There is no good to be had. There is no creativity, no innovation, no style, no practicality, no enjoyment. Just an ouroboros of slop culture and cost savings.God help us all.
>>28212617So glad my old Ford's from the early 2010s don't have this shit
>>28212617Preaching to the choir, brother.
>>28212683It has canbusDitch ASAP
>a car's tablet will soon look like the meme /v/ hud and modern gaming huds
>>28212703Thats not how it's meant to lookIt shit itself for some reason
>>28212670Idk if the SUVs are the same as the sedans but every single mercedes interior I’ve seen recently is just awful. I hate the weird flat angled dash with the big ass screens.
>>28212724That's not the point. At what point did anyone think "we NEED to add an audiobook app to the car's infotainment system!". Makes me wonder at the other shit they add to the screens. What next, "order a pizza" button, the "shift into 2nd gear *subscription required" button, medication reminder notification app in the fucking car, or the like.
>>28212735That's Carplay doing thatMazda's built in shit is the text up front
>>28212735You are looking at Apple software, not Mazda software, tard
>>28212617What kind of fucking design genius thought it would be a good idea to notify the user about phone calls and text messages while the user is driving?
>>28212617I think Audi is the only car I've driven that doesn't have an absolutely disgusting user interface. Tablet screens should be banned from cars
>>28212755He's looking at both
>>28212617I know this has been asked millions of times but I've never seen an actual answer, why can't I look at my phone while driving but I can have whatever that is on my center console?
>>28212780in some US states and euro countries it is illegal to actually have your phone in your hand while driving
>>28212786
>>28212626>rolling panopticonmodern cars really be like that.
>>28212617I like those, though the ones that come with the car are usually pretty shit. I usually replace them with super-powered chink ones and jailbreak them to watch videos and play video games.
>>28212922Connecting a phone to your car should put it in some kind of "suspend distractions" mode, not just move the distractions from the device to the center console. Driver's should talk or text behind the wheel, so you shouldn't tell them that they've received calls or texts until they've stopped driving.
>>28212995you can set that up yourself on many devices, no need for some mandatory nanny, i'm not a baby.
>>28213007I'm not saying big daddy government should mandate it, just that it's bad design for that not to be the default behavior.
>>28212625Does /o/ not like Mazda anymore?
>>28212617
>>28212622Strange way to say "It's an Android tablet".
>>28212622It’s just screen mirroring your phone, idiot
>>28213081
These screens didn’t just appear overnight. They progressed over time from the mid 2000’s. >>28212735>audiobook app bad!Why? Seems pretty reasonable to have if there’s already an infotainment screen. Ever drive long distances while listening to an audiobook? It’s pretty comfy. The app just keeps them organized. CarPlay and Android Auto are pretty redundant since they’re just accessing things you already have on your phone, but if they’re going to have a big navigation and camera screen, why not integrate phone stuff?
>>28213085Okay retard. Go listen to the same 50 mp3s on your “pendrive” and pay 80 dollars to your dealer to update the “navi”
>>28212617Let's get a list going of instant dealbreakers that are nevertheless becoming ubiquitous in the modern market.>infotainment screen>stopstart>push button ignition>remote operation>self driving "features">continuous penis inspection ("infomatics")Am I missing anything?
You're almost certainly carrying the spypotato in your pocket anyway. If you're not, and you drive a car without any surveillance state features, and you have your internet-connected devices at a minimum and tailored for privacy, you're a hero.
>>28213181Spy potato cannot steer me off a bridge
>>28213077I never did except for the rx7
Will they just give up and let people mount their own tablet somewhere on the dash or something? Used to be a big aftermarket on those radios or media players right? Why do the car manufacturers even bother with this shit.
>>28212617you people will cry about screens on modern cars and then go slap a giant aftermarket ipad on your shitbox
>>28212727They're all doing it. I was legit sad about the new vw interiors which are basically the same throughout the range. I mainly blame tesla for starting the trend.
>>28212782>no buttons 3 screenswell at least the main screen isn't a strapon like all the other peasant cars are doing now
>>28212617>WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHITHave you lived in a cave for the last 8 to 10 years?
>>28213321No, we don'tWhen we step into our 1991 shitboxes, we wish to feel as if it really is 1991
>>28213153>heated and powered seats>air conditioning>LED lighting>volume knob>tachometerAll completely unnecessary.
>>28213660True but not a dealbreaker like the above.
>>28213660>a/c is unnecessary Post your favorite fried chicken and tell us which brand of strawberry soda best compliments it.
>>28213153>push button bad!>give me an old fashioned key so my car can be more easily stolenIt wasn’t that long ago that my state stopped writing insurance policies for low end Kia’s because African American teenaged youths were stealing them so frequently.After gaining access to the car, a thin plastic cover under the steering column is ripped off. Two screws inside the column are then removed, which allows the vehicles ignition key cylinder/tumbler to be slid out. A USB-A connector is then used to turn the starting switch mechanism, as that connector fits perfectly into the mechanisms receptacle.
fuck off boomers, it works greathow can you be tech-illiterate in 2025
works on my machinemaybe dont be a fucking android chud
>>28212617What the fuck do you guys do while driving? Browse the internet constantly? Fiddle with your AC ever 10s? Like what the fuck is wrong with you people? I get in my car, setup my music and nav and the only time i look back is for the nav. The fuck are you constantly fiddling on your info system for?
>>28213784>maybe dont be a fucking android chud>Apple CarPlay>Androidanon...
>>28213781Its not about being tech illiterate.It's about being a paranoid schizophrenic.
>>28213811I thank you for your service as well as the people that use lunix on their main pc.
>>28213781this looks disgusting tho
>>28213210yet
>>28212617I drive my 90's shitbox and have my phone mounted on the side A/C vent only to display Waze for cops on my commutes and that's it. That's all anyone needs.
>>28213781>I HAVE TO BE AT THE COMPUTER EVEN WHEN I'M DRIVING A FUCKING CAR! I JUST LOVE TECH AHHHHHHaverage bmw nigger, the memes write themselves a this point
>>28213876Perfect. Who still sells this?
>>28213803You don't understand, I NEEEED my screens everywhere. When I wake up, when I eat, when I work, when I go to the store, when I'm at the store, when I'm with family, when I'm with friends, when I go to bed. I can't live without them!
>>28213877I would buy it if I could take the time to restore it, but I already have a shitbox. I think the Honda E was a good effort at trying to merge this retro simplicity with new tech.
>>28212617Literally doesn't matter. Just turn the screen off after setting up what you want.Then you've just got a black box that's super handy whenever you need to look at maps. I pretty much never have mine on since I use phone nav anyway and it'll automatically kick on for reverse camera use anyway.
>>28213876>I HAVE TO BE AT THE COMPUTER EVEN WHEN I'M DRIVING A FUCKING CAR! I JUST LOVE TECH AHHHHHHboomerposting a picture of an old dirty rust bucket as an "own">the memes write themselves a this pointyou gotta post that sick demotivator, granny
>>28213891>red stripe on the wheel so he knows the orientation of the damn wheelliterally a car for low IQ EDM listeners and women
>>28213897Oh no no no no
>>28213741And keyless vehicles are harder to steal? There’s no solution to theft besides staying away from nigger territory.
>>28213781I am tech illiterate and I am proud of it. Computers are FAKE AND GAY.
>>28213921I'm great with a PC; but I hate fucking smart phones. They're like proprietary bullshit computers with a shit interface designed for retards who have no desire to fix anything themselves.
The future is now old manSeriously though, carplay is one of the best thing to happen to automobiles in the past 10 years
>>28213917>And keyless vehicles are harder to steal?Unironically yes. What kind of question is this? Busy open the column, bypass the key tumbler somehow, turn the ignition switch and drive off. It’s the same in literally every car model with a key.>b-but you can by this electronic gizmo The average pavement ape doesn’t have this. And since the technology is always changing, any kind of widget that supposedly magically lets you just take whatever car you want probably won’t work from year to year.
>NOOOOOO I HATE LISTENING TO MUSIC AND HAVING WAZEI hate old people so much
I like watching interracial pornography on it while driving
>>28213153lane keeping, lane departure warning, fatigue detection features, etc, defaulting back to normal settings every time you shut down the engine.
>>28212645Based alfisti. Love the giulia desu
How specious is the giulia compared to a 3 series bimmer?On the drivers seat that is (headroom, legroom), is the center console annoying for long legged chads?
>>28214845altista, anon. alfisti is plural
>>28214958Headroom kinda sucks. I'm not tall. 3 series probably better especially without a sunroof. Only 3 series id get is an m3 though. I'd get a qv but it's only rwd. Drive a 911 in the summer so want an AWD for winter at least.>>28214964Thanks didn't know that
>>28214845gorgeous paint choice, anon, misano always looks good>>28214958they're pretty much identical up until this current generation that I can't speak on, never sat in the new bmw.
>>28214845>off center license plate pussy shitKek, fucking ricelet's too pussy to just not run a front plate
Both of ^ those are fucking monster trucks, by the way. Kek
>>28215865>how you arrange your license plate is ricegot this new ricey addition, I put my parking sticker on the other side, u mad
>>28212617I bet that screen is all laggy and shit probably struggles to stay on in the winter. Shit ass gay ass faggoty fake futuristic bullshit
>>28215964>ebonicsKek literally only ricelet pussyboys run off center front plates. It literally advertises to everyone that you were too much of a pussy to just go plateless, so much so that you'd rather have an ugly asymmetrical bullshit than not LOL
And LOL @ parking stickersThat's also pussy shit goddamn kek
>>28212617>welcome to your new carop: i like this but let me make a thread
>>28213102>not bothered by the penetration at all
>>28214543You should have spent more time with your dad
>>28213086it used to be screens in headrests and popout screens in the dash that was the nigger thing to do, the white thing to do was to replace your stereo with a "carputer" after chris bangle popularized that crap with idrive
>>28216089He sounds exactly like this thread, it is fucking annoying. He sounds like a pathetic old grump when he complains
>>28216351He's more right than you know, kiddo
>>28213781>Can't even turn on the ac without clicking through menusWhy do you choose to live like this?
>>28216398Nah, he is just a grumpy fat loser
