  EFI and a radio with a digital tuner does not a “smartphone on wheels” make. This shit didn’t actually start until the mid-2010s.

    You must be one of those GenZ people. I assure you, back in the day, that counted as a smartphone.

    You’re so young, that you take for granted the fact that the technology available to you today didn’t exist 10 years ago, let alone 30

      Nope, I’m an Oregon Trail millennial. And I’m still driving cars built between 1990 and 2010. I know perfectly well what I’m talking about and don’t need your bullshit condescension.

        I’m not responsible for the fact that you bought shitty cheap cars for 20 years.

        It doesn’t change the fact that cars, since the mid 80s, have come with computers and all kinds of other shit.

  My car is from 2014, no “smart” crap in it… So I guess it’s to varying degrees. I have the feeling OP isn’t talking about the first ever smart car, but that it’s become ubiquitous.

    Part of my aggression from the previous comment

    I didn’t mean “every car” I just was referring to the fact that cars started to do what OP is referring to a long time ago. Certainly not every car. It was a luxury option along time ago. Nowadays, it’s just becoming standard.
