Not of a fan of car touch screens myself. I want to able to adjust the AC and stereo without looking, just by touch. Modern cars are annoying. Too complicated, so many settings, complicated to fix. I drive a 14-year old car and 30-year old car.
But for others, I’d suggest going newer for safety. Sensors, safeguards, crumple-zones, I believe have gotten better over time, and are a good argument for putting up with tech crap. If I was going to maxx safety, I’d go for a Tesla.
Everything else, knock yourself out with the older tech.
For safety I would go for a car made for the European market, as the testing is stricter and actually considers the damage your car can do to pedestrians and so increases overall safety, not just your own.
I would be somewhat surprised if Tesla is really the safest car around, but it’s possible. Is it about having a battery instead of a gas tank + other features? I also assume you don’t mean cybertruck but some of the car models?
My car is 13 years old, but I’ve seen newer ones still without touch screens. EU (I think) passed a law on phasing out smart screens in cars for things related to car operation so hopefully car manufacturers start making newer cars without the screens. I think the market is there. It’s a question of who’ll capitalize on it.
It’s possible Teslas are not absolutely the safest at present over every other car, but up there. Not having an engine means the front crumple zone is larger, you have a lot of sensors and warnings for lane departure and imminent collision, Tesla engineering is pretty, and then they’re n the cusp of self-driving.
I don’t really know which cars are sold in Europe, but most I’d think?
