Drivers Hate The Tech In Their Cars
For the most part, drivers find the technology in their cars to be pretty useless.
It turns out that more technology in cars isn’t necessarily something customers want, and it’s not really improving their driving experience. We know my thoughts on the matter, but I’ll do my best to stay impartial on this latest survey from JD Power that shows most customers don’t appreciate technology in cars unless they can see a clear benefit to them.
JD Power’s 2024 U.S. Tech Experience Index Study evaluated over 81,000 drivers’ experience with “advanced vehicle technologies” in 2024 model year vehicles after 90 days of ownership, It turned out to be a pretty mixed bag when it came to what people liked using. There are a number of tech features that customers like using because they feels that it answers their needs, but at the same time there is a whole lot that don’t get used very often or are continually annoying, according to the survey.

i really need a car without this all shit. I just want to drive from point A to B. I don't need any navi, big LCD screen, AC, parking automatic, speed control and all the electronic shit that I have now in my car.
Stuff like Bluetooth, backup cams, and a screen to put your navigation directions on are handy. But I don't think my car needs a whole OS.
Honestly, I think our regulations have gone a little too far. Requiring backup cameras and automatic braking systems sounds like a good idea, but now we can't have a bare bones car.
Prices are up because there are so much additional shit they need to include. Personally, for a lot of my driving, all I want is a geo metro or similar shit box.
I mean, if I buy a two-seater convertible (if I can even find a new one) why does it need a backup camera? There isn't even a back window!
