Your mistake is thinking that the car manufactures are optimizing for UX.

What they're actually optimizing for is looking impressive/high-tech to help sell cars and reducing build costs.

I know, and it's depressing as hell. One problem is that for almost any idea these days, the market that buys impressive-looking but unusable, throw-away UI is so much bigger than the rest of us that it attracts all the product offerings.
