Who needs AM, Siri, LP's, 8-track tapes, cassette tapes, or CD's?
If the phone go's bad, it's just thrown away instead paying $150hr for Auto service mechanics to fix high tech toys.

I think he's getting at something a little bit deeper than updating the audio options, though you get closer when mentioning Internet access via your car.
I tend to agree with the article though - there seems to be a lot more people who want their car to do things for them.
Cars that self park? We've got that. Cars that do things for us via voice command? We've got that too. Cars that react to our poor judgments (falling asleep at the wheel, reaching for something we shouldn't be, trying to look elsewhere, etc)? We have that too.
But I do get what you are saying as well - there are some conveniences that don't necessarily hurt us, such as adding serviceable vehicles to a single program.
Still, before too long, we're going to be dependent on the technology we're using out of convenience.
Good article, Collin.
