Aesthetica Mercedes-Benz SL (R107) Promotional Film & Rare Footage The car industry was finished by the end of the 90's. Analogue instruments with beautiful practical designs gave way to soulless tablets. Metal and leather to cheap plastic, Colors to neutral black…
It seems to me that today's car designs are based on our culture's obsession with social media and screens. "Take your eyes off the road and check your phone, we'll take care of the rest!".

They're simply building vehicles that accommodate this bevaviour.

Over-sized monitors with constant warnings, Hands-free driving, Ultrasonic sensors, Radar, Lane assist, Blind-spot monitoring, Voice commands, Maybe showing Ads in the future ... .


Behind the wheel of older cars you had to pay full attention and operate everything manually. Now, driving one without fancy electronics is like disconnecting and taking a break from social media and non-stop whispering in your ear all the time. You can escape consumerist trends and collect your thoughts.
