I don't even like the stuff in today's cars. It's gotten out of hand. My 2019 Nautilus has lane control, all the blind spot stuff, anti-collision stuff, and adaptive cruise. A few weeks ago, I was driving in the left lane of an Interstate. I was passing a large truck in the center lane. The afternoon sun was at my 2 0'clock position. I had the cruise control on and as I passed the truck, it cast a big shadow on my car. Before I passed the truck, my car slams on the brakes. Antilock activated and I went from 70 to 30-something in about 2 seconds. There were no cars or objects in front of me. This thing just messed up and could have caused fatalities had someone been directly behind me. It's bad that driver's are so lazy now, that they have to invent all of these gadgets so you don't have to pay attention anymore. Put down your phone and drive. It's worked for decades.
Quoted from vid1900:Pinballers are always slow....to adopt new tech.
Williams put mechanical clangers in the first solid state machines, fearing that players would be terrified of games run by computers
Bally did that with Evel Knievel, Power Play, Eight Ball.
