In today's automotive market, consumers are often attracted to a variety of high-tech features that are advertised as significantly enhancing the driving experience. However, a car owner recently shared his personal experience, revealing that some seemingly tall car configurations are far from the same in actual use.
When the owner bought the car last year, in order to pursue a better driving experience, he deliberately chose a variety of high-tech configurations. However, after a period of use, he found that these configurations did not bring the expected convenience, but added a lot of annoyance. In particular, he complains that the electronic rearview mirror requires frequent switching between the in-car display and the outside window, which is not only cumbersome, but also easy to overlook details, increasing the risk of traffic accidents. The electronic rearview mirror also has difficulties in judging the distance of the car behind it, causing the owner to hesitate when changing lanes.
In addition to the electronic rearview mirror, the co-driver entertainment screen is also a major slot for car owners. He originally thought that this configuration would make the co-pilot passengers more pleasant on long trips, but in fact, the functions of this screen are very limited, and many commonly used apps cannot be used. Moreover, because the screen is installed in the car, the rear passenger has a limited viewing angle, and it is difficult to see the screen from other angles except for sitting in the middle position. In the case of glare sunlight, rear passengers even need to be probed to see, which is a safety hazard.
The electric suction door function also disappointed the owner. He originally thought that this function could improve the sense of class and practicality of the vehicle, but in fact, this function did not bring much convenience. Moreover, since the electric suction door automatically engages when the door is closed, there is a risk of pinching people. The owner of the car said that his child was almost caught by the electric suction door, which made him feel very scared. There are similar cases on the Internet, and some car owners said that the electric suction door clamp is particularly painful, and if it is a child, it may even lead to a broken finger.
In contrast, traditional mechanical mirrors, simple in-car entertainment systems and manual doors are not upscale, but they are simple, reliable and convenient. These traditional configurations not only avoid the safety hazards and maintenance costs associated with high-tech configurations, but also provide a stable driving experience. The owner said that he now regrets that he chose these flashy configurations in the first place in pursuit of novelty.
The experience of this car owner reminds consumers that when buying a car, they should not blindly pursue high-tech configurations, but choose according to their actual needs and driving habits. It is wise to make a rational choice and avoid paying an "IQ tax". For car manufacturers, they should also pay more attention to practicality and safety, rather than blindly pursuing innovation and gimmicks.
