  Seems shopped.

  You mean you don’t read the billions of lines of code contained in all of the open source apps that you use? Shame, shame… :)

  I disagree. YouTube offers nothing without the content creators.

  While yes, they depend on the creators, many of those creators would not make any money without a platform like YouTube. I don’t like the price raising, but YouTube stores your videos for free, and makes it easy to monetize content.

  My wife and I have unlimited data plans, and we listen to all our music on YouTube. Without a sub, you can’t turn the screen off. Ads are also not an issue on mobile/the TV when you have a sub.

  I don’t need a million cameras and sensors around my car, if I have good sight-lines.

  While I agree with your earlier point on more technology not always being good, I disagree on the point of sensors and cameras. A backup-camera and sensor can tell me about approaching cars that I’m not aware of/cannot see physically. Additionally, I’ll take extra reminders of cars when switching lanes at highway speeds.

  I don’t like any screens in my car

  I thought I didn’t either until I got a car with a built-in backup cam. Extremely helpful, and I feel vulnerable in a car without it.

  I’d say the problem is really the lack of tactile feedback. A touchscreen requires your eyes to use, while a dial with blanks just requires your touch to skip past the blanks. It’s not impossible to memorize how many services to skip past, just made worse.

  2016 Mazda 3 does indeed have a touch screen, but not really, because like you said, can only be used when stopped. Knob control otherwise, which works fantastic.

  I have a 2016 Mazda 3, and agree. I don’t want a BS touch screen. I want intuitive controls that work without me having to look at a screen. The knob control is amazing.
