Cars are all software these days.
That's one of the concerning parts:
It's a 15 year old Škoda, probably one of the cars depending on the fewest lines of code by now...
Well, by 2010 that would be a Volkswagen though wouldn't it? Either way, it's new enough to be mostly software control, though not entirely drive-by-wire.
But comparing it to modern cars... Crazy what has changed in the time since then...
E.g. we had a water bottle crashing against the main display some years ago, since then it only shows colored smears.
Only downside is, that you now don't know any more, which radio station is currently playing.
In a new car, you probably wouldn't even be able to control AC and heating any more.
I guess I will try to cling to that car as long as possible,..
