It鈥檚 been awhile since the last posting. Electronics are good, according to all car manufacturers. They aid the driver in driving bla bla. Enabling extremely high cornering speeds in an otherwise family sedan based automobile. However what worries me the most is that all these gizmos are somewhat burdensome in the long run. Most cars with all these gadgets, gizmos and ting-tongs may only have a shelf life of 15 years max before their electronics give way and no spares can be found. 鈥淚 don鈥檛 see clearly anymore, what would be the damage? 鈥淚t could be a Thousand Ringgit if it鈥檚 just the motor or 3 million ringgit if it鈥檚 the Air Cond ECU. I see that in the end, consumers will be forced to change their cars every 10years or so whether they like it or not due to tons of electronics been put into their cars. The curse of mass production. Where change is good no matter what the costs are to the consumers. This actually highlights the second main problem that consumers are faced with, too much gizmos and gadgets. The first problem is the fact that cars are becoming larger. Look at the current Honda Civic, it鈥檚 so large that an Accord from 1990 looks small compared to it. Before 1995, Honda didn鈥檛 have a need to have a Honda City, look what鈥檚 happened now? In the year 2025, the Honda City will be Accord sized and the Accord will be slightly smaller than your average terrace house.
