  Planned obsolescence has creeped its way into every single product that we use in this day and age.

  It infuriates me soo much that we banned pop up headlights for pedestrian safety and then let everyone drive around huge lifted trucks and literal bricks like the crybertruck

  The dashboard does NOT look like a spaceship.<br><br>It looks like some kid left their iPad double-taped to the dash of an econo car from Eastern Europe circa 1988.

  A car company could make a killing by making my sedan from 1995. Just enough tech to be comfortable and not enough to be scary

  A big problem with cars today is the people who make them don&apos;t drive them. The small, clever features are basically gone. I remember when I started driving my first car, a 2001 VW Polo, one of the first things that stuck out to me was the fact the 3 AC knobs had different sizes, meaning you didn&apos;t need to look down (bottom centre to be more specific, right above the ashtray) to know whether you were changing the air speed, temperature or which vent the air would come out. <br>You don&apos;t see these sort of features anymore. Clever features have been replaced by smart™ ones.

  Touchscreen controls are awful for any actions needed to be done while driving. Physical controls have tactile feedback that allows you to use muscle memory to do what you want without requiring you to take your eyes off the road. Moving them to touchscreen is quite dangerous.

  The safety paradox also applies to road design. Where supposed &quot;dangerous&quot; roads(usually many curves or corners) were redesigned and straightened out with the goal to increase safety, after said changes, collisions actually INCREASED! Those curves and weird turns forced drivers to slow down and actively focus on their driving. Whereas the straighter &quot;safer&quot; roads bred a false sense of security and safety, leading to more drivers to reduce their focus on actively driving.
