The folks at JD Power put a study together earlier this year in order to see how people felt about which pieces of new automotive technology. Strikingly, the second-most popular option was night vision, even if it’s by no means the most useful system to have…
The most popular was still blind spot detection tech, then followed by night vision, enhanced collision mitigation system, the display for the rearview camera shown in the mirror and finally “self-healing paint” (which doesn’t exist).
At the other end of the scales, the 2015 U.S. Tech Choice Study found out people really didn’t care very much for health and wellness systems in their cars, nor about hand gesture controls for the cockpit, seats or biometric sensors and haptic feedback for touch screens.
CNET had a look at this study as well and made a video adding more information and context to the choices.
