    i want a car with zero touchscreen. Heck, even no reverse camera - older folks have been driving just fine for years with just the side and rear mirrors. 3 pedals.

      I get the touchscreen thing, though I really don’t mind a touchscreen so long as I have real hard controls for volume and heating/cooling. GPS without touchscreen is painful.

      But the backup cameras, absolutely those need to be a thing. They have saved lives. People have arguably never been driving ‘just fine’, just getting closer to just fine. Backup cameras reduced child death from being backed over by 80%.

          I’ve never needed one, therefore they are a waste of money.

          I’ve also never needed anti-cancer drugs, wtf are we doing there

        It helps if you’re drunk, keeps you from tensing up during the crash.

      Sounds like the upcoming Slate. But it’s more of a pick-up platfom. I hope they keep going and extend their product line.
