It is kinda crazy - I remember Elon musk showing off that you could play video games and watch movies in the Tesla.
And there’s something super dystopian about the idea -
When I was a kid basically four things governed the emotion you felt about a car. What it looked like on the outside, how far the gas pedal was depressed whether or not the window was open and what was playing on the radio.
The experience of driving a car was one of the things we most looked forward to about growing up, and now we’re trying to abstract that away.
And I feel it myself - there is something exciting or stimulating in modern cars about - where the screens are, how big they are, what colors are on them. But how backwards that is to the whole original notion of design.
It is something I often think about in life that, inefficiency is where our humanity is.
