    I never thought it would bother me, until I actually sat in a car where everything was dependent on software the first time.

    At first I thought I was just getting old. But it dawned on me that relying on software to fucking roll down the windows or starting the car doesn’t feel too good.

    (It was also an extreme jump in technology for me because the last car I drove before that was an old Corsa around the year ~2005.)

      To be fair you probably already had software in engine before 2000.

        Quite likely even power windows were driven by microcontrollers close to 2000 and used bus messaging between buttons and (non driver window) controller. Mercedes, certainly.
