2016 is still a good year as most of the connected tech isn't supported anymore as it's on the 3g network.

IMO cars peaked around 2015
Interiors looked really nice and you had analog dials etc. Wish some small screens, just enough.
Today it's just big plastic dashboard with cheap tablets stuck in them

I don't currently drive since I live in a city with great public transit but if i was forced to get a car it wouldn't be made after 2006. I like buttons and don't want to spend $400 replacing my rear view mirror because its linked to my touch screen for no damn reason
Don't forget the transformation from a 5 buck bulb to a 1000 buck complete LED-system. Yay!

If they are, would that make old cars giant feature phones on wheels?

It has wheels so the computer doesn't touch the ground you know.
Yes, but why? Are they in place to protect the spinning rust when you hard drive the car? Or has it something to do with cracked Windows and a missing driver?
I'm always being extra careful around those computers on wheels, since most of them have a built-in backdoor!
Fuel for thought...
