Wth is happening to new cars?
More than I can handle and I've grown up with a serious love for the automobile, but this age of electronica knows no bounds.
We didn't get flying cars, but it won't be long until they return to the dealership on their own if you miss a payment. In a divorce decree, the car can just drive to the other house, hopefully you have time to get your stuff out.
Just on todays news, drivers in Seattle are stuck on one radio station, can't change it. Big possibilities there...

I'm driving a '95 Subaru wagon with stick and analog odometer.
She's driving a 2000 Subaru wagon with auto and digital numbers that turn off with the key, and that's already too new for me.
The 90's were the heyday of decent cars, finally fuel injected, with ECU/closed loop, very clean emissions, everything that has come after has gotten progressively worse and more impossible to service.
The days of sealed hoods are probably coming.
The days of DIY car care is coming to an end.

A Fight Over the Right to Repair Cars Turns Ugly
