The biggest argument in favor of “tradition” seems to be the presence of physical buttons. So maybe you’d actually prefer a mixture of the traditional and the modern, a screen with physical buttons below it, allowing you to operate the console using your tactile sense alone, without giving up the GPS map and the additional cameras.
Hopefully you don’t do much driving in the dark, the backlight on our new work truck’s console display glows so brightly even with the display “off” that it ruins your night vision.
Modern would be fine if even half a moment of thought went into non-typical situations, but it’s always some stupid oversight like this. Or the 5000k LED dome lights with a visible PWM frequency. Literally painful.
I prefer to drive with old incandescent dash lights dimmed to nearly nothing, yes I live in a very dark area with no lighting and many road hazards. On a moonless night, the area lit by the headlights is literally all you can see. We run extra lightbars, turning lights etc.
More light outside the truck, not inside. That’s my rant
Yes because you stare for long periods of time on the phone without looking at where you are going. I didn’t do that with my car’s display. Two very different things.
I’ll take it modern. Thanks.

lmao, yes! Fill a car with simulator parts until it looks like a cockpit.
i don’t have a problem with this
Nope. I don’t want the physical buttons. All I need are signal stalks. When I drive I don’t go playing around with buttons.
We live in a time where we can control our car by voice. I set the temperature of my car before I get in it. I don’t see the need for buttons.
What if you want to change the station?

I do drive in the dark. My carv switches to dark mode and dims the display. I’ve never noticed it being too bright.
It’s not about traditional vs. modern but what the better solution for the task is. You know why phone usage while driving is not allowed?

No, because you look away from the street.
