In my case, my personal car is still old school or “analog” in those areas. I think that in the case of new cars, manufacturers make so many different models that I can’t trust they’ve put the time into debugging and failure-proofing their software. Even the most reliable car brands have occasional hardware recalls, and software glitches in their media systems are fairly common. I’ll need to do more research about what failsafes they have in place, but I’d feel more confident with a mechanical linkage than software
