It turns out that more technology in cars isn’t necessarily something customers want, and it’s not really improving their driving experience. We know my thoughts on the matter, but I’ll do my best to stay impartial on this latest survey from JD Power that shows most customers don’t appreciate technology in cars unless they can see a clear benefit to them.

JD Power’s 2024 U.S. Tech Experience Index Study evaluated over 81,000 drivers’ experience with “advanced vehicle technologies” in 2024 model year vehicles after 90 days of ownership, It turned out to be a pretty mixed bag when it came to what people liked using. There are a number of tech features that customers like using because they feels that it answers their needs, but at the same time there is a whole lot that don’t get used very often or are continually annoying, according to the survey.

    Check out organic maps it’s free and open source, you download your map and it works waaay better than Google maps or Google wyze.

    It infuriates me that all the technological gains our phones and computers have made since the 90s in processing speed have all been taken up by backalley bloatware and big data creeping needing to know when you shower. The Internet doesn’t feel faster than 15 years ago. Myspace loaded faster than…picks a site nowadays. All of them are slower than Myspace was.

    How many millions of hours have those libertarian fuckwads in silicon valley stolen from us? I wish women would just collectively decide to stop fucking tech bros and cryptofags until they stopped gushing over John Galt and Burning Man NFTs. I also hope peter thiel gets sexually ostracized by every gay dude except, idk, street Turks selling syphilitic kabobs.
