Many Drivers Never Use In-Vehicle Tech, Don't Want Apple Or Google In Next Car
Lucas123 writes: Many of the high-tech features automakers believe owners want in their vehicles are not only not being used by them, but they don't want them in their next vehicle, according to a new survey by J.D. Power. According to J.D. Power's 2015 Driver Interactive Vehicle Experience (DrIVE) Report, 20% of new-vehicle owners have never used 16 of 33 of the latest technology features. The five features owners most commonly report that they "never use" are in-vehicle concierge (43%); mobile routers (38%); automatic parking systems (35%); heads-up display (33%); and built-in apps (32%). Additionally, there are 14 technology features that 20% or more of owners don't even want in their next vehicle. Those features include Apple CarPlay and Google Android Auto, in-vehicle concierge services and in-vehicle voice texting. When narrowed to just Gen Yers, the number of vehicle owners who don't want entertainment and connectivity systems increases to 23%.
Daytime too. It's helps with targetting, especially for cyclists. Those bastards can move so fast sometimes it's hard to pick them off manually.
Is it just my observation, or are there way too many stupid people in the world?
Probably the same neolithic types that didn't buy Bob, didn't like Clippy, use ad-blockers, and disable javascript. Self absorbed jerks who impede progress. Long past time to send em off to re-education camps.

Please stop using the word theory when you mean hypothesis.
