I have an older car. It has just minimal electronics, but it doesn't even have an alarm. When I'll buy a new car, I'll buy another older one without electronics. Why the FUCK should I buy a car with needless electronics? For what?
I don't need anything additional in my car. It's fine as it is. But I'd like to buy a car that can go over dirt roads and somewhat rough terrain.

I don't need that. Convenience breeds weakness. I rely on my own skills to park.
It's similar with programming. There are LLMs, and one could use it excessively to create code, but it would weaken the ability of the programmer to code himself. It's like skill atrophy.
There's a minimum necessity. However sometimes it's dark, there is fog, the sun blinds me, the rear-view mirror is useless because the window on the back is dirty again, it's raining like hell, sometimes it's a dirt road with a low frame, the lights aren't bright.
But I got used to all of it. I don't rely on some technology, which could stop working. If there are inconveniences, I can handle them. If there are more, I can handle them too. I can handle the shittiest conditions possible, and I don't want to make anything easier, as it would decrease my ability to handle bad conditions.
This also goes for something like backup cameras, but it applies in general. It's a mentality. For example I hike for multiple hours and I never use GPS. Using GPS would be like cheating, it would make the trip too easy. If I fail and get lost (which is rare), I just wing it, and still find the way.
Not using GPS in a car is also a matter of making it too easy.

It's a camera... do you have this same opinion regarding mirrors as well?
