Tech Companies Vs. Car Companies - Toyota Yaris Forums

I don't want to sound old fashioned, but in my opinion the more tech you add to a car (electronically speaking), the more liable it is to break. Its relatively easy to take a car from the 1940's and determine how everything works, not so much with the cars today because of the ever increasing software and technology involved. Personally, I trust a hand dial air conditioning system in my car over a touchscreen one any day.

Not to go on a rant, but I saw an article on Yahoo News the other day about a camera being found with photos on it from WWI, I can bet you that flash memory on our camera's today isn't going to be able to be recovered ninety years from now.

We have to go back to our roots and build things to last, not just crap that makes things convenient for the moment.
