"The Overload Era (2020–Today)"

I HATE those things! I learned to drive in an era when you minimized distractions in the cabin, when you turned the dash lights down very low at night so you would not ruin your night vision. Now it's brighter than daylight in cabins with those damn gigantic displays!

Jony Ive (famous Apple designer) designed the new electric Ferrari cabin and his Rule #1 was "NO SCREENS".

Jony Ive Kills The Screen In The New $535K Electric Ferrari.

Alas, I can't pay a half-mil to rid me of those infernal screens.

Too bad it is electric. I pay that much I want to hear the horses.

They paid a mobile phone designer to design a vehicle interior - lol.

One of the ugliest, worst designed, bland car interiors I have ever seen. It looks cheap, poorly designed and uncomfortable to use.

I drove an 18 wheeler for a while back in the mid 1980's. First thing I would do is a low tech upgrade to maintain night vision and be able to see everything in the cab as well. I would put in some red lights inside the cab independent of the dome lights. I also used to do it later to the vans I had and my wife was with me {wheelchair confined} so I could see her.
