00:00:00.300 --> 00:00:04.590
- Modern cars are packed
full of luxury, convenience,

2
00:00:04.590 --> 00:00:06.000
and environmental features,

3
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:09.150
but often they're more frustrating
than they are convenient.

4
00:00:09.150 --> 00:00:12.085
Here are five of the
most frustrating features

5
00:00:12.085 --> 00:00:13.650
in modern cars.

6
00:00:13.650 --> 00:00:15.930
Modern electronic gear shifts,

7
00:00:15.930 --> 00:00:18.840
or really anything that
lacks that tactile feel,

8
00:00:18.840 --> 00:00:21.090
your rotary knobs, your push buttons,

9
00:00:21.090 --> 00:00:24.990
your automatic recentering luxury knobs.

10
00:00:24.990 --> 00:00:27.030
You never know what
gear you're going into,

11
00:00:27.030 --> 00:00:30.328
they always have some arcane
method of finding park.

12
00:00:30.328 --> 00:00:35.328
Infotainment user experience
is so easy to get right

13
00:00:35.430 --> 00:00:38.820
and yet so many automakers
get it so wrong.

14
00:00:38.820 --> 00:00:41.250
It's too much happening on
the screen in front of you,

15
00:00:41.250 --> 00:00:44.190
too many screens to have
to pay attention to.

16
00:00:44.190 --> 00:00:46.785
It distracts you from what
you should actually be doing,

17
00:00:46.785 --> 00:00:48.652
paying attention to the road.

18
00:00:48.652 --> 00:00:51.900
Always on traction control.

19
00:00:51.900 --> 00:00:54.930
Sometimes you wanna go out
and do skids in a parking lot,

20
00:00:54.930 --> 00:00:56.760
you don't want your traction
control on for that,

21
00:00:56.760 --> 00:00:59.190
but other times you're just in the snow,

22
00:00:59.190 --> 00:01:00.990
you're trying to claw your way out

23
00:01:00.990 --> 00:01:03.540
and you need your wheels to keep spinning.

24
00:01:03.540 --> 00:01:06.334
If your traction control is
cutting in and killing power,

25
00:01:06.334 --> 00:01:08.190
you're gonna be stuck.

26
00:01:08.190 --> 00:01:09.960
Finicky Bluetooth.

27
00:01:09.960 --> 00:01:12.180
At some point, you just want a cable

28
00:01:12.180 --> 00:01:13.710
to plug from your headphone jack,

29
00:01:13.710 --> 00:01:15.210
that you don't have anymore,

30
00:01:15.210 --> 00:01:17.820
into your car, that no
longer has an aux cord.

31
00:01:17.820 --> 00:01:20.910
Because Bluetooth can be fantastic

32
00:01:20.910 --> 00:01:22.530
when you're trying to make a call,

33
00:01:22.530 --> 00:01:25.800
but when suddenly your
telephone codec cuts in

34
00:01:25.800 --> 00:01:27.810
when you mean to be using your media codec

35
00:01:27.810 --> 00:01:29.310
and everything's compressed and,

36
00:01:29.310 --> 00:01:30.990
oh God, you've disconnected this phone

37
00:01:30.990 --> 00:01:32.760
and it automatically
connected to the other phone

38
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:35.610
that's in the car behind
you, it's frustrating.

39
00:01:35.610 --> 00:01:39.150
Auto stop start is a hot topic,

40
00:01:39.150 --> 00:01:41.610
'cause it can be really convenient

41
00:01:41.610 --> 00:01:43.320
when it's implemented well.

42
00:01:43.320 --> 00:01:45.060
But if you've got a laggy starter

43
00:01:45.060 --> 00:01:47.010
that takes a second to kick in,

44
00:01:47.010 --> 00:01:51.067
it is gonna make you tear your
hair out at every red light.

45
00:01:51.067 --> 00:01:52.483
Frustrating.

46
00:01:52.483 --> 00:01:55.150
