Too Simple To Figure Out Dept...!?!
The more smart or automatic an appliance becomes the more time and money you'll spend trying to make it work. Net result: You lose time and you lose a ton of money. Great for technician's income...

We have a new-to-us 10 year old Audi. What a pain in the rear it is to operate! No push buttons to change radio stations. Must switch system into radio mode and turn knob while looking at display screen. Or use voice recognition system that works, but is slow and somewhat difficult for set up the stations. The $5k GPS is horribly difficult to use. A Honda $2.5k GPS is much easier to use, and the $100 Garmin we have is the easiest of all. Trying to tune the radio while using the GPS is just as distracting as text messaging.
I think there should be a basic industry rule that says when "improving" a product it must be no more difficult to operate than what it's replacing.
One conspiracy theory is that the cars are intentionally being made harder to operate to soften us up into accepting self-driving cars.
