I thought I didn't like screens and yeah they're kind of ugly when not integrated correctly, but then I actually used them and realized they're cool. Are you guys just seething because you're poor? When you actually drive new places regularly, unlike /o/ users who just go to work and home, it's actually helpful to have a large, bright google maps display and to answer calls on the go, change music, etc. If any of you have driven with young women (none of you have), you'll realize they want to connect to carplay, not plug in your loser aux cord. In general it just impresses people with your wealth and status, leading to more business opportunities, improves your position in the social hierarchy, and increases your access to sex. But keep explaining about how the screens are bad because they just are OK?
this is unironically true. broke carcels will argue this point to the death, but anyone who uses their car as a tool to live an awesome life (not centered around the car itself) prefers a screen. truth is that as a man, you should have a bigger mission than just 'cars' or whatever. they're a tool. use them to accomplish your goals that are bigger than yourself.
>>29009326I unironically like the screens and buttons in my car its a nice combo.
>>29009326>When you actually drive new places regularly, unlike /o/ users who just go to work and home, it's actually helpful to have a large, bright google maps display and to answer calls on the go, change music, etc. Touchscreens in cars pose a serious threat to safety and ergonomics. They require taking your eyes off the road and prevent you from using your "muscle memory." Navigating menus requires precision, which focuses the driver's eyes on a single point inside the vehicle, rather than on what's happening outside. Studies show that using such screens can reduce driving precision by up to several dozen percent.For this reason, Euro NCAP has begun drastically downgrading the safety ratings of cars that hide all physical buttons under screens (!)So what do you think? Maybe we should install crappy Chinese tablets in trucks like Peterbilt and Kenworth just as a matter of stupid fashion?
>>29009345>safetyokay woman>if i take my eyes off the road for 1 second i crashokay woman. you're just exposing yourself as a shit driver. I can scroll reels while driving and its 100% fine

Threads like this are why /o/ is dead
>>2900932699% of every ride it’s completely unnecessary. It’s extra expense. Everyone has a phone already that does the same map features.The old Porsche 5 dial system where one dial was a screen about 3 inches big with a map and engine info was the best of all time. Info right where you need it. And nothing else. Everything in the 991 era was a button
>>29009343Best combo for controls and information.
>>29009538Says the Jannie, what should we discuss? Best dildo attachments for drivers seats?
>>29009326>responsive and well integrated screens>physical buttons for everything>all the performance data>carplay for maps, music, etc.
>>29009326I don't mind screens on my car, what I do mind is that most manufacturers will use them to get rid of controls on my car until we're left with a Tesla interior, the absolutely worst kind of car interior.>Why do you want AC buttons? you can press them on the screen!>Radio dials? you can press a volume button on the screen now! Tune the station as well!Nope! fuck off with that. Keep the screens to infotainment and GPS.
Why would I care what other people think or drive places I don't know?

>>29009326I have a smartphone that does everything the screen does and more while performing better.
>>29009596Good goy. Have screen preferences.
>>29009602The only goy here is the one buying a car with another screen he doesn't need.
>>29009548Are the "well integrated screens" in the room with us right now?
>>29009607certainly more well-integrated than the competition
>>29009548This looks as cheap as it is.
>>29009538Truke
>>29009326I agree, screens are an indispensable and unavoidable part of buying newer cars, and the people that keep chanting "screens bad" come across as coping poors that just hate tech for the sake of it. And you're right, women will get the ick if you don't have at least some kind of wireless carplay ability.That said, tacked on screens that take up huge portions of the dashboard look horrendous, and it strikes me as a fad that will age very badly as technology evolves. I don't understand why auto makers can't at least integrate the screens better to make it look more stylish. I like the design of my Mazda3 screen, for the most part, but even Mazda is starting to jump on the huge, tacked on screen band wagon.

>>29009783Tell me what screens are replacing and reducing the costs of...
>>29009791No, you tell me
>>29009820what costs are you proposing were cut to manufacture those interiors compared to picrel?
>>29009791a touch display is far cheaper than designing and molding a bunch of different buttons and knobs
>>29009839lol lmao even
>>29009836>>29009839
>>29009770This is 5 yr old tonka shit lol
>>29009839>>29009844plastic is literally the cheapest shit to manufacture on earth and is used in every dogshit quality garbage mass produced product ever
>>29009847Ok and? It's still cheaper to use less of it. Also you have the entire R&D, mold design, additional production lines. I can't believe I have to explain it to a retard.
>>29009849it's cheaper to "use less" of anything, it's not cheaper to replace something inexpensive with something more expensiveand the R&D, mold design, etc. don't go away, they're shifted into the incorporation of screens into the dash and software development
>>29009858>the incorporation of screens into the dashNot the anon you're arguing with, but can you seriously say with a straight face that the latest BMWs incorporate their screen in the dash?Those fuck heads just lazily threw it on top and called it a day. Fuck 'em.
>>29009858Yes, and now you have just a mold for the screen (if even that) instead of the screen + buttons
>>29009847>plastic is literally the cheapest shit to manufacture on earth and is used in every dogshit quality garbage mass produced product everyou are vastly overestimating how expensive it is to make a touchscreen
>>29009865nigga you don't have to do software development for buttons...also in basically every example you posted there are still physical controls for climate control and audioif it were cheaper to replace buttons with screens they would start replacing the window controls and lock buttons with screens on the doors as well
>>29009874>you don't have to do software development for buttonsanon... what do you think the buttons are controlling? a fucking mechanical computer?
>>29009875kek you know what i mean niggers650 mustangs got a whole ass nvidia gpu in their shit just for the stupid infotainment setup
>>29009879buying chips from nvidia is cheaper than building multiple production lines to churn out plastic buttons
>>29009883do you think they make brand new tooling and stand up new manufacturing lines for buttons that have been in production for decades?if the premise is that you save costs by replacing buttons with screens, then you're not building or adding any new production lines for said buttons, they already exist and have been in place for years
>>29009892Do you think they use the same buttons in more than one generation of a car?
>>29009895you can see that they do in your own example >>29009820
get in my 250k Bentleyfirst impression is natural materials, but hey wait aren't those the same shitty touch buttons from Porsche? Well, at least it's not just screenslop.
>>29009895Not only that, but many different manufacturers buy from the same pool of standard buttons buy some independent button manufacturer.
>>29009898It's the same generation, retard. Just pre and post-facelift.
>>29009902Which ones, for example?
>>29009906>>29009901
>>29009906nta but hazard lights button, start/stop, anything on the steering wheel, AC knobs, buttons for heated/ventilated seat settings
>>29009907>>29009908Porsche and Bentley are both VAGshit so they obviously have single parts bin. I'm asking specifically different manufacturers that are completely different companies.
>>29009916bruh bmw and toyota share a whole ass car, same with subaru and toyotano different than the dozens of tv companies that buy panels from the same handful of manufacturers
>>29009618The nuCivic/Accord interior is top tier, I went with a Civic over the competition based on the interior design alone. If only they made the infotainment screen smaller/lower. Everything is simple, well placed, and large. Everything you want and nothing you don't. On the low end infotainment system, you can even do almost everything on it without actually touching the screen.
>>29009918>no different than the dozens of tv companies that buy panels from the same handful of manufacturersor the dozens of car companies that buy infotainment panels from the same handful of manufacturers, instead of producing a bunch of different buttons, knobs, and switches
for me it's screens that are only there when you need them
>>29009938I really don't understand why this trend didn't keep going. Any decently high end car in the 2000s had a flip up screen for GPS.
>>29009943Because when you replace all your physical controls with touch buttons on the infotainment screen it needs to be accessible all the time. Also these hidden screens are an obvious point of failure
>>29009945>it's another thing to failI'm much more worried about the drive-by-wire throttle, steering, and brakes in modern cars than the infotainment system hinge failing. I've got a receiver from 1997 that I use every day on my TV. When you change the volume from the remote, it physically moves the volume dial with a motor. It hasn't broken yet. Just don't be stupid with it and it won't break, plus if the screen is down, you cannot shatter the screen when your shithead kid or drunk friend decides to throw something at you from the back. People made the same argument about electric windows and it turns out their failure rate is way lower than mechanical ones.
>>29009945>when you replace all your physical controls with touch buttons on the infotainment screenHow about not doing that? Most manufacturers have given up on that meme at this point, bringing back physical climate controls, yet the massive infotainment screens remain and continue to get even bigger.
>>29009326>In general it just impresses people with your wealth and status, leading to more business opportunities, improves your position in the social hierarchy, and increases your access to sex.This is some of the most incel grindset alpha-male shit I've ever read. You're talking about the iPad glued to your car, no one gives it a second look.
>>29009892>do you think they make brand new tooling and stand up new manufacturing lines for buttons that have been in production for decades?Buttons are physical and even in best case scenario you need millions in retooling for a new model madescreens literally just come from a factory fully built now, you just need to make the bezel and design the UI which isnt physical
>>29009326>Are you guys just seething because you're poor?you do realize most people in this board don't even have a car with functional auto climate control right? Their primary lament about screens is always about how they need to fiddle the temperature control in their car every minute. That or like, they need to change the speaker volume every 2 minute because their car can't even properly detect ambient highway noise.
>>29009965Back in ma' day all we had was three dials!How cold do you want it?How hard do you want it?Where do you want it?Anything else is technological bloat! No automatic climate, no heated seats, no heated mirrors, fuck modern cars!
Imagine a world where cars drove themselves and you could just sit back and watch an adult movie on the big screen during your three hour commute to work from your pod to the office.
>>29009916I don't even care that they share parts my issue is more that the buttons are laggy - like the physical buttons on my Kia have very little lag, but trying to press the digital touch button on my Aunt's Macan was very frustrating. And it's funny because prior generations had generous real buttonslop. >>29009998I really like ventilated seats and now I can't go back. After a long hike on a hot day, nothing better. >>29010009They kinda do it's just slightly sloppy software and there's no good balance between letting you fuck off when allowable and quickly binging you when it needs you to intervene.
>>29009918>the same car with a different badge has the same buttonsHoly shit, stop the presses.I'm still waiting for an example of 2 different cars from 2 different companies having the same buttons, preferably from a third party, non-car maker. Like a Corolla having the same window switches as an F-150. Because for now, the only 2 examples I can think of is early Teslas with stalks from Mercedes and early Zondas with Rover climate controls.
>>29010009If you have to commute three hours one way to an office job (aka something that can be done remotely), reconsider life
>>29010098>aka something that can be done remotelybut i can't remotely flirt with karen from accounting at the water cooler
>>29009326If the screen is well integrated into the dash and doesn't become a control point for all the HVAC/radio controls then yes it's perfect. The only thing as gay as an ipad dash is having a phone holder glued to the windshield like some jeet uber driver.
>>29009762>completely BTFO Honda and ToyotaNissan was right to reject the merger.
>>29010132>The only thing as gay as an ipad dash is having a phone holder glued to the windshield like some jeet uber driver.
>>29009929I love the base Civic interior too; one of my favorite modern interiors. I absolutely hate the red accents in the Si and Type R though.
>>29010162Yeah, the red interiors should've been optional. I really like the half analog/half digital gauge cluster of the low end models, best of both worlds and honestly looks more premium than the full digital cluster just because the screen is not a rectangle. I know there's some trickery to make it look like that, but it's really good looking, while remaining minimalist.
>>29009326poorly implemented, and loaded with outdated maps.>large, bright>not integrated correctlypritty much the same thing, they dont even have a binical anymore.>>29009345lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, Automatic Emergency Braking, should surely keep things on track while the driver is distracted / asleep.
>>29009326lol the girls i've had in my car all thought it was fucking sick how simple the dash was compared to what's typically offered today. they also don't give a shit about things like carplay because it's a goddamn 60 year old car. another thing that was brought up was the lack of shit beeping at you constantly which often started venting/ranting sessions about that lul
>>29010212Carplay fucking sucks anyway, just like bluetooth, you cannot connect to it while the car is in motion, so it's completely fucking useless because everybody knows is 10+ minutes into the trip when someone says "yo, can I put something on?" Aux cables are simple and are do not baby the user.
>>29010217i had one of these but instead of an aux cord, it had a little wired remote that let you increase or decrease volume and charge it, you could take handsfree calls with it if you wanted, but the best thing was it had a microSD slot so i could play my own music straight from the tape deck. was great because i saw no reason to remove the otherwise perfectly functioning head unit. used it for years before i got my current car.
