Are we in the 1980s era of cars right now?

the biggest disappointment (IMHO) has been the drivetrain mechanical issues of ICE cars (bricked engines, broken trannys), too many screens to reach necessary functions, direct injection carbon buildup, and software bugs with unreliable over the air updates. I lay the drivetrain issues off on the over reach of US and EU government regulation, followed by the manufacturers going towards screens and software designed cars as they chased Tesla, a car built using silicon valley product management and software development, skills traditional manufacturers do not have in house. I bought a BMW 840i as it has a great interface of screens and buttons, a reliable six cylinder, and is a great car. Four years old and no issues, very reliable. But, that car was designed and conceived around 2015-2018. There are others that represent what I refer to as “peak ICE cars”. I would love to hear other opinions as to what represents “Peak ICE Cars”. My forecast is that we will go majority electric and self driving over the next twenty years, and ultimately to a pay for use model. Many overall benefits here, lower costs, more reliability and much, much safer operation (no more red light runners, tail gaters, or Parnelli Jones wanna bes in pick ups), but for those of us that prefer the smell of fossil fuel exhaust on a crisp, cool morning with a windy road and a great car, that will be far gone in the rear view mirrors. Yes, progress for the masses, but some will miss it!
