this is ironic; my wife bought a brand new 2020 model year Nissan 370Z 50th anniversary edition in 2021, and it feels like it is from the late 90s.
no touch screen (actually no screen at all!), no GPS/navigation, no tracking, no Bluetooth audio streaming(!!) it does have mobile phone Bluetooth connectivity and a terrible backup camera but those are the only bits of modern in-car tech it has.
it feels like a very analog modern sports car without any of the crap that most modern sports cars have.
more of this please!
sadly, seems like the new Z coupe went all-in on the in-car tech, much like Nissan's other offerings.
Backup cameras weren't required in vehicles until (i think) 2018. My guess is that (similar to banning popup headlights), it was only required for new vehicle models released. The 370z had a ridiculously long production run starting in 2008, so they weren't required to put one in
the backup camera shows up on the rear-view mirror, taking up about ~40% of the width. it's really the jankiest thing and is shockingly bad for a 2020/2021 car!
Ahh interesting! Ive never seen or heard of a car manufacturer putting the backup camera screen in the rearview mirror (probably bc, for the reasons you mentioned it's a terrible idea!)
