    I just want a simple car. One without extraneous functions.

    My old boss bought a brand new car that was in the shop for two of it’s first four weeks. The issue? The capacitive touch sensor that operated the motorised glove box door was activating automatically because it was being confused by dust.

    My shitty 15 year old VW’s plastic glove box door has a metal latch and had never experienced this bug.

      Heh, my 40 year old Deutz tractor has a metal latch on the glove box, and it will randomly flip open and hit me in the head while working in the field.

      I would still prefer it over the motorized system you describe
