Why Modern Cars Suck

>>17753174
If you buy a new car today, 5 years from now all the software is outdated and there will be no more upgrades. Considering cars are becoming more dependable on software, this thus reduces the life cycle of a modern car.
Since there are many more parts in cars these days, chances on something breaking is higher, and when something breaks its getting more expensive to fix. This is all done to get more push more money out of the consumer. Cars are no longer investments, but will instead become throwaway objects once the software and tech dies after 5-10 years. If you bought a new car in the 1950s-2000s and took good care of it, chances are you can ride it decades thereafter. But this won't be the case anymore with cars bought today, due to the complexity of the technology, wiring and software (which today without is impossible to drive) becoming outdated.

steer by wire and electric sensor brakes/throttle is retarded. you don't feel the road like with a conventional shaft/axle steering wheel. and using throttle/brakes is just asking a (((computer))) to do something.

Steer by wire is bullshit, since you need to have a mechanical backup in case of emergency anyway. Electric power steering completely fucks up feedback compared to hydraulic power steering, although it's slowly getting better.

Brake by wire can straight up go fuck itself though.
Throttle by wire? Okay, you can still steer the car and slow it down safely in case the pedal sensor fails.
Brake by wire? You're shit out of luck, especially if it's an automatic where engine braking is not an option.

There is no steer by wire, it's the assist that's electric

I can relate to this 100%. The touch screen in my 2007 Lexus shit the bed and those fucks quoted me $3,000 for a refurbished unit. In the meantime, I don't have access to navigation, radio presets, or climate controls. What a load of shit!
