“a bunch of old people far far out of step with technology and society”
You just described me perfectly.
I am “out of step” and proud of it.
Be out of step if you want. I don’t give a crap. The problem is when the clown IN CHARGE are out of step we get stupid things like this: forcing automakers to spend a bunch of money (costs that will be passed on to consumers) to keep around a technology that’s already gone.
If you really really want AM radio in your car you can buy one for $20 and not make anybody else pay anything.
