Mastermariner Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 They always tells us that there will be a bright future and everything will be pink and rosy, not so! Living in Bangkok I seriously doubt that we will last for another decade or so before total anarchy breaks out.

Living in Bangkok I seriously doubt that we will last for another decade or so before total anarchy breaks out. The sad part is that, we could have lived that kind of rosy lives, had the ones running this planet not been complete psychopaths and the rest of us not been so bloody complacent. But back to the cars. Today's cars do use a lot of technology. In a way it makes us more lazy, but it's kinda nice. When i got this last car I thought I wanted the same model, because of performance and looks, but without all that ton of sensors and cameras. Now I kinda like the cameras and sensors in busy parking lots. Didn't try the "self parking" thing yet and don't intend to. Edited July 7, 2017 by Jaws2002 1
Guest deleted@30725 Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 The problem with cars is that electronic failure state is harder to detect by a general amateur than mechanical things and when cars get older these things become ever more expensive to fix reducing the life span of a vehicle or handing the cost on to the future user.
