Dongfeng Honda has a factory in Wuhan and their new Lingxi I've seen a few times. They... idk, are very digital? Like, the rear view mirror has been replaced with a rear view live camera, so if someone extremely tall is sitting in the middle back seat, you can still get a clear view of whats behind you, but having everything digital might be a double edged sword.
Also I'm sure even a 0.1ms delay on camera vs 0 for mirror will eventually cause a problem in split second decisions, but that's not unique to Honda.
Having basic things like rearview mirrors be All Computer also makes me nervous about long term maintenance
Most modern cars arent very easy to fix DIY-style, you increasingly need more than baseline experience in electronical engineering and programming including the various car branch specific licence programms. Not very friendly for your average working class joe
Eh, it's one of those things where if it works it's better than a mere mirror but if it breaks it's potentially catastrophic. The quality of the build is the important factor.
i was mildly road raging about some dipshit going 30 in a 35 on my way to work and thankfully they turned off the road and as they were turning, this motherfucker was playing anime on some shit like that
I thought it was their fucking phone but since it was where the rearview mirror would go I'm wondering if it was a digital display to begin with and they just, have fucking anime playing on it while they drive
Everything's computer
Just takes some cold weather to make a car brick so hard you can't even force it into neutral.
Eh, it's China. If your car doesn't start there's world class public transport.
True. I guess I was too narrowed in on my Wisconsinite experience. China isn't held together with sticks and snot like Burgerland is.
i think the only time in his life my dad took the local shitty public transit was a very cold winter a few decades ago where his gas car wouldn't start
