For the first time in 28 years of JD Power’s car owner survey, there is a consecutive year-over-year decline in satisfaction, with most of the ire directed toward in-car infotainment.

I travel for work and thus rent a lot of cars. Can confirm there are far too many options. What's worse is that new cars don't have an option for the USB to type C. It's just type C to C, which is a cord that almost no one owns. Why not have both in the cars!! Bur yeah the new cars all do something a bit different in annoying ways.

FYI: My favorite vehicles. 1 Honda Civic, 2 Kia Soul.

Why have both in cars? A car is expected to last 10, 15 years at least and C to C is already starting to become the new standard. I feel like if you buy a car, you can probably buy a phone cord for it...

This. Type C has been getting very popular since around 2016. Every phones cord is type C for few years now. Personallt I wish to never see the USB A type port again in antthing I purchase. Especially an expensive car. It is obsolete tech.

*most smart phones…

[-] 3L54@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Thats true. But does your phones connectivity with a car matter at all if it isnt ”smart”?

[-] const_void@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

lol - I was thinking iPhones which are still USB C <-> Lightening (at best), and not yet USB C<->C.
