"... For the machine is immortal." But the machine does break. That's why I'm here.

It's always better the next day. And that can be at any meal.

Diy sports cars on student budgets.

Early Lotus design principals

( "simplify, then add in lightness.") applied to easily obtainable components.

Some of that approach can be applied to invasive/unnecessary technologies

In modern consumer grade vehicles.

Doubt it. Most people will just enjoy the shadows on the cave wall.

The regular dopamine squirts of their constant, gamed experiences please them just enough to remain hooked and thoughtless.

(Just walk around the slot machines at a casino. Same mechanism at work.)

That's not to say that there isn't a market for stripped out or minimalist electronic device design in automotive. (Just look at the "Locost" movement)

It's far enough off the bell-curve to be quite an outlier.

Worth it with the right business model.

Tangent warning-

Luddites were primarily concerned with reduced pay, decreasing product quality, and worsening work environments than the technology itself.

I completely understand.

I've had stretch of s similar situations.

Sadly, most people will crave the moron features.

Same reason they want the flagship personal device with the cutting edge technologies they never use.

It's Conspicuous Consumption generationally ingrained as a malignancy.

Why do you think that started with your cars?

It's not like no one was warned.
