Luxury Cars: Comfort or Confusion?
Get into any modern luxury car and the first thing that catches the eye is the array of buttons on the dash. Even the steering wheel gets paddle shifters and audio controls. Added to this, there are cars with a GPS facility and an LCD screen.

Get into any Merc or BMW and be amazed by the number of functions being packed into the small space. It will require the genius of a race car driver or a professional mechanic to actually understand the functions of all the buttons. A person will need to study the car manual for over a week to understand the various technological marvels that a luxury car comes with.

Only the cockpit alone of a luxury car like the Audi A8, BMW 7 Series, and Mercedes S-Class could cost up to $20,000 to $30,000 (Rs. 8 to 12 Lakh). The question, however, is why so many gadgets when most of these luxury cars are driven by chauffeurs? Wouldn’t it be better to concentrate more on the rear seat comforts of a luxury car? Maybe luxury car makers should concentrate more on rear comfort and less on cockpit confusion!

It is because of all the convenient features and comfort, we call it as luxury car.More the technology, more the confusion.
I don't think that by all the luxury car owners face this kind of problem.Once you get the hang of the of the controls, nothing is difficult.

I agree that most cars luxury cars come with modern technology feats. may be in future a small technical glitch can stop a car midway rather than a mechanical defect.
It may require a computer engine to rectify it rather than a car mechanic.

It is the technology era. Technology will rule all out action in the few years from now. The speed vehicle cars have always been preferred by their standard of technology expertise.
Nobody likes to buy a car without power steering anymore. Was that not technology then?
