Harry's Garage - Depreciation of Modern Cars

Interesting take from someone in the supercar scene.
I absolutely despise much of the new tech in current vehicles.  Distracting, gimmicky and already out of date.

That video popped up on my algorithm too.  Worth a watch and I agree with the sentiment (so the youtube algorithm is clearly working well).  I think part of it also down to out-sourcing, out of necessity (cost), the development of the software that underpins the technology and probably there is some element of rushing the delivery of said software too, lack of testing etc.  Add to that designers who are catering to a demographic that seems to value size and bling and shiny screens over quality and engineering prowess and you have all the variables of a poor outcome.

This is really apparent on Reddit r/bmw r/mercedes
Many of the posts are about interior LED lights and other absolute junk like door projectors that we use to buy from supercheap in the early 2000's.  Gone are the days of soft ambient interior lighting.  Now you get RGB lighting like a bloody teenagers computer case.
