Drove a new pickup the other day, upper trim model. Felt like I was driving a luxury car. Even had hands-free driving in some areas. Those parts were amazing.

Absolutely hated the infotainment and other automatic systems. A giant clusterfk of poorly designed, non-intuitive, frustrating systems that did unexpected things or took too much time to set up. The nice tech was completely overshadowed by the over-engineered junk.

That sounds heavily under engineered, not the other way around.

  What i suspect happens is, a good design gets made. It is then “improved” by the M.B.A. having class.
  
  Then marketing gets their say, useless shit and third party add-ons sloppily slapped on top.
  
  Enter another round of “economizing” and a perfectly good design becomes enshittified.
