I agree with you on the touch screen interfaces, especially considering how long people keep their vehicles nowadays. I have had my Tacoma for 11 years. Had I gotten one with some sort of touchscreen or other display interface, it would seem like utter dog shit now using a touchscreen and computer system from 2008.

That's the first thing I think about when I see new cars with their fancy displays. How will this look and perform in five years? In ten?

I wonder about the same. I think there is a good chance that cars will go the way of the computer where it’s almost inconceivable to use something that’s ten years old. So people may buy cars every five years and used cars will be recycled instead of being sold as used cars.
