I don’t think the people voting CP on this have any idea how much old Toyotas sell for

... and many of us are sorry that you lack reading comprehension. Firstly, this is a solution designed explicitly for densely populated urban areas, and secondly it’s fucking British, not American. Reading (I know, I know, not something you’re particularly adept at) between the lines, this is a solution designed for…

Neutral: how do we get out of this mess and avoid constantly repeating it in the future?

Ummm with nothing? Or physical controls for hvac & radio since that is the only thing that you need that the screen may provide. Nobody needs a screen in their car. Or is it maps you’re concerned with? I’m pretty sure you have a phone. Problem solved. People who actively want screens in their cars are horrible people…

Or, simply do the right thing and eliminate the screen entirely.

While I’m impressed with the capabilities and feature list, I am not particularly enthralled by the design.

Wow the Tesla Fanboi-ism is strong with you ... you can’t stand even a little unpolished discussion of your favorite cult of personality? Barely anything in Bradley’s article even meets the level of “slightly critical” let alone an “attack”. Take your meds, pal, you’re gonna blow an aorta at this rate.

Cars have had faders for decades.

doing it too soon <snip> People’s lives are more important than corporate profits or the economy. The economy always recovers eventually,

Second what Ermahgerd! said ... Tesla is not succeeding on the promise of cutting the oil habit. People aren’t buying 100 thousand dollar EVs to save on gas money.

Stop blaming pedestrians.

How, exactly, does distracted walking or driving increase the percentage of fatal accidents?

been cycling for 20 years and I fail to see the type of cyclist you’re talking about

While Ricardo and his “Rich Corinthian Leather” tag line have never really done anything for me, the round-eyed version of that car is one of my all time faves. I am a big fan of the mid-70's “personal luxury coupe” trend ... 30 years ago I had a (used) 77 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme which lasted for 3 or 4 years until…

*narrator: It isn’t what he said.*

that vehicle ownership cost him $8,000 less than his neighbor.

The secret of course is to buy the car right, keep the car a long time and don’t drive it much. :-).
