It looks to me like the 2000s when we attached the GPS navigation on the suction cup holder somewhere on the windshield or the dashboard. I REALLY hate it and it is everywhere now. On top of that in order to save 0.00001$, the manufacturer removes the all time needed physical buttons for climate controls, audio volume and such and implements everything in the touch screen, buried in 3 consecutive sub menus making more and more distraction and involvement for the driver. And it is getting worse with every new generation of cars.
