People are getting fed up with all the useless tech in their cars

lol. any electrickery in a car is useless.
i used to have a 1985 vintage toyota corolla.
everything in that venerable machine was mechanical.
as long as you did not skimp on maintanance, it just worked.
you could even drive it through a 2 foot deep pool.
[ you had better not try that with your latest umpteendollar
batterypowered green suv, for your own safety...],
