      If it turns out to be real, that would be the easiest buy I’ve ever had with a car. But with a design supposedly about practicality, why do they have to go with the iPad car controls? Hopefully that trend dies out soon and we can have buttons again.

      I can’t see myself spending money on anything beyond a smartphone with a touchscreen for everything, and seeing it in this makes me more skeptical about the product as a whole.

        Yeah, that is the worst thing about modern cars. They just produced their first fully drivable prototype, so I am cautiously optimistic.

        Touchscreen controls so if/when something goes wrong with the software that controls it, Only they can service it instead of the owner of the vehicle.
