Comment on Ask HN: As an IT person, what do you like and dislike about cars?parent

Comments

- If you have a hotspot, you don't need a "router" - you have it with said hotspot

- most people don't want (or need) a manual transmission - automatics are just plain better (as much fun as driving a manual can be, for ~97.3% of driving (even in a stick-shift), you're only in one gear anyway

- haven't seen a car that doesn't show (or offer to show) current mpg in probably 15 or more years

- the last thing we need are more screens that can have issues

- phone-based entry and start ... sounds good - until you forget your phone. Or replace your phone. Or want to loan your car to a friend.

- self-repair is "allowed" on pretty much any vehicle ... but no sane person wants to do most repair because it's neither time- nor cost-effective

I was asked what I like and dislike not to debate or justify my opinions which stand.

you asked for stuff that already exists ... which seems kinda silly, no?

I dislike that I can't get a manual transmission in my car anymore. I don't want an automatic. Perhaps you want one but I don't. I listed what I like and don't like and you are free to list what you like and don't like.
