      Technology isn’t just a big infotainment screen. I agree that they are mostly good enough, are extremely cheap, but people should try them and compare them with European counterparts to understand they are actually cheap and hugely less refined in drive quality and other “car” aspects, instead of thinking they have some magic going on where their technology is so far in the future.
