For over a century, the automobile has represented freedom, power, and the thrill of mechanical mastery. The connection between driver, machine, and road defined what it meant to own and love a car. But in today’s digital era, a different trend is unfolding. Cars are no longer just machines designed to take us from point A to point B. Increasingly, they resemble something else entirely: smartphones on wheels.

Cars after 2010 are fine. It's the recent years that are the issue. My 2020 Forester is just a regular car with a small regular display just for radio or plugging in my phone for the map.
