Yeah you said that, until a doctor hand you a handwritten letter.

They're really nice.

Said character:

Honestly it's just a fluffy black puff, there's nothing racist about it originally, it's american and their history.

On one hand, firmware update sound really nice so lemon isn't as sour. On the other hand, good, reliable car have absolutely 0 chance of getting enshittified by car maker, and they have to make sure the thing is good from the get go or risk getting forced to recall.

I've been in the industry for 15 years and i've never heard of anyone that can feel if their tire are worn or not, most can tell the difference between a worn and new right after they changed(mostly psychological, as they asked it to be change and know it's new), but never feel it in their daily commute. They will only know when they check. Same as machine, if the change is gradual and slowly over a long period of time, they will only interpret that as something normal and calibrate it accordingly. It's the same reason your car won't bitch about throttle body service because the parameter is "off", or bitch about alignment because your steering is slight off center, because they deem it as "normal" and calibrate as such. They only throw up signal if the change is sudden.

Secondly, said tech already been used as a way to tell you about tyre, yet more car use tps anyway, because it's more precise and accurate.

Thirdly, people already and should rotate their tire regularly, at that time you should know how much thread the tire still have left, having an extra and unreliable "warning" would totally piss people off.

It's a feature that doesn't benefits from redundancy.

But all displayed item from bottom panel is item from the 80s and 90s though, so precomputerised kinda either mean carburetor or primitive ecu that only control very limited function and can't scanned with a scanner tool, which is still imo bad. As an automechanic I certainly doesn't want to go back to scratching my head trying to figure out what's wrong.

Edit: not to be too pedantic about it, but that's what i get from this comic.

Maybe you don't, but in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, we have it for decades.

Worn tire is almost impossible to detect if without any physical inspection, and sensor just can't cut it. Sometime it worn on the side because of bad alignment, sometime it's the middle, sometime it's uneven for whatever reason. Unless you want your car to be all sensor, which is the reason recent car is such a nightmare to maintain, you wouldn't want a tyre wear sensor that you have to clean the sensor once in a while, which that time could be used to physically inspect your tire.

Imagine having sensor all over your suspension, tierod, tire, and one fault is detected mean it's towing time. That would be a nightmare of a nightmare.

Hear me out:

We give them road specifically for them, make them self driving, give them lidar and whatever sensor to be safe, paint a specific coloured line on the route, direct them to only self-drive on that line so no deviation = no worry with traffic, and call them well-trained bus.

Technically there's 6 words, whether it's proper english word or not that's not the question.

No one want to fiddle with carburetor anymore thank you very much.

And tbh, 2010-2015 is comfortable enough and less bullshit.
