I hate it all. Modern cars are just iPads with wheels.

This will be the new horror movie trope: instead of the Final Girl fleeing from the killer and getting behind the wheel and fumbling with the keys in her panic as death stalks relentlessly closer, now she'll jump into the driver's seat and be forced to subscribe to Google Maps before the car will start.

Just to make it extra tense, she'll have a wonky touch-screen that
ignores her taps, like the one I got at the post office the other day....

A great example of the ridiculousness of technology for the sake of it.
So much for "progress" :-\
I simply get into my 30 year old car, turn the key, and I drive off.
None of this uselss electronic crap that infests modern cars.

She'll be more frustrated by her inability to avoid marketing and
promotions than her need to escape the killer.
