Car manufacturers spend billions on new technology features in vehicles. But many car owners do not use them.
The US consumer organization JD Power has investigated how the expectant car owners use all clever, technical features in the car the first 90 days after purchase.
The report shows that every fifth person had not used 16 of the 33 investigated the functions once. 14 of the functions wanted person in five does not have in his car at all. Interest was even lower in the age group 21-38 years old: they would prefer to avoid 23 of the functions.
At Least popular was called a concierge service, a feature that can help with practical things such as booking airline ticket or find the nearest pharmacy. Among the features that were disseminated was also routers, automatic parking, head-up displays and built-in apps.
In many cases the preferred drivers use their smart phones, as they are already accustomed. When the technology is built into the car anyway, so wasted large sums of money away for consumers as well as for automakers, says JD Power.
But of course there were also many technical features that car owners love to use. Special features that increase security and provide a more comfortable ride. Adaptive cruise control and blind spot warning, for example.
