    Auto design trends change all the time. Some trends are awesome: heated seats, rearview cameras, and Bluetooth. But on the other hand, some trends are real, real bad … like the use of bigger and bigger iPad like screens getting stuck to the dashboard, cough cough Tesla. Join Nolan as he covers some of the worst trends, and which manufacturers are the worst offenders. No one is safe on this one, we take a look at Toyota, Nissan, Subaru, Honda, Porsche, BMW, Tesla, and just about everyone in the auto industry!
    WheelHouse answers all the questions about the automotive world you never thought to ask. Nolan Sykes looks at the history, sociology and psychology behind the cars you love, and the features you might overlook.

    Thank you thank you thank you for calling out GM for wanton reverse lights. This drives me insane every time I encounter it in the wild, which is usually when I’m waiting for someone to back out of a parking spot before realizing they’re just sitting there or walking to their car. It is beyond comprehension how this “feature” could make it into a production vehicle.

    • @thatboomhauerguy5601
      @thatboomhauerguy5601 Před 2 lety +3

      It's honestly a big part of the reason I bought a Ford instead of a Dodge. Give me a lever that is physically connected to the shift linkage, not a knob that tells the computer to move a solenoid that is connected to the same linkage that the lever used to connect to. The worst I've seen is Mercedes, the shifter is on like a turn signal style stalk on the steering column. Everyone I work with took like 5 minutes to even find it and most guys have accidentally bumped it into neutral a bunch of times going for the turn signal.

      I can remember a time when I went to a company event. The company had paid for a vallet service. I had to fetch my VW bug because the vallet kids couldn't figure out how to put it in reverse. Granted, not only was there one vallet kid who knew how to drive a stick, but VW bugs had a feature where you had to push the stick down to allow it to move far enough left to get into reverse.

    I have to agree with the old NPR Car Talk personalities Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers (RIP Tom), when I say: bring back the "wing windows" on the doors. You know, the ones where you could hang your fingers through the little lock tab, which would break your fingers off your hand if you had a quick stop. But being able to open that window all the way, if you could get it around your side view mirrors, and direct that flow of air right into the cab... so nice!

    Would like to have turn signals moved back to the sides of the vehicle so you can tell if you can make a turn or cross the street without having the end of the car pointed directly towards you. But this would also require more drivers to fallow the traffic laws and apply the turn signal before they are almost done with the turn, or in many cases, many of my family members included, even using their signal lamps in the first place.

    3:12 the “fake reverse lights” are lighting for when you get out of the car. i used to live in the woods so it would get really dark outside at night. when i would come home i wouldn’t be able to see anything. my 2015 chevy sonic rs comes with this feature but it’s not just reverse lights. it’s every exterior light. you can go to car settings to shut it off if you desperately need to, or you can change the time. 30 sec, 60 sec, 120 sec. the more you know.

  • @roninfletcher1363
    @roninfletcher1363 Před 8 měsíci

    Hi there, tech here, talked to a GM engineer a while back and he actually explained the whole "reverse lights on for 2 minutes" gag, he said it was because GM asked them to come up with a way that an owner could check all of their lights without help from anyone else. However, due to time restraints and budget worries, they didn't make it a feature on the fob, as the original plan was to put it on the fob as a Exterior Light Check button, or to have a button on the inside to achieve the same effect. Instead, they just set it up in the computer to initiate "Exterior Light Check" mode every time the car is either shut off or locked (depending on the year or model you own), and thus the fake reverse lights were born. GM just uses them still today because, while annoying, they aren't a major safety concern, and the computer systems inside the cars have remained relatively unchanged over the years.

So if the left rear door was opened, left rear seatbelt was buckled, and upon leaving the vehicle, that person unbuckles their seatbelt and leaves through the right door, the car will see it as that person doesn't have their seatbelt buckled upon moving. Because that person didn't leave through the left rear door. We get those all the time

      @iamlokittyofmeowsgard2934 Před 2 lety +35

      @@InconspicuousStranger it's a little more than just touching the screen to adjust the heat on a touch screen versus just turning the knob. Some touch screens you have to go through the menu to get to the spot where you can adjust the temp, adjust which vents blow, etc. It's not all right there on the main screen. Those are the ones I am referring to. The vehicles that don't have the knobs along with the touch screen, and the touch screens that have you touch this and then that and then go into this, not so easy to do when you are driving. At that point it becomes no different than scrolling through your phone while driving. The only difference is one is acceptable and one isn't. With the knobs you know right where they are, you can adjust with a small glance, or not looking at all. Besides, this is my opinion on the matter, you don't have to agree.

      I hate this stupid feature as well, it's supposed to be a lighting feature similar to having the headlights stay on so you can see where you're going after you've parked your car. The proper solution would be the one used in several pickup trucks over the years, just have the computer keep a set of cargo lamps on located in the third brake light housing, it would provide the same basic lighting and not get confused with the reverse lights. Doesn't really surprise me to see GM doing such stupid things, they'd be too cheap to add a couple of cargo lights to the third brake light on the crossovers/SUVs. Another solution that comes to mind would be using the license plate lights for this purpose. Having the reverse lights come on for any other reason than being in reverse is technically illegal I believe, but I don't think that applies to parking lots.

    OK, I know it sounds like I'm trying to defend an unnecessary car feature that is gesture controls, but I wanted to point that that feature is optional and you do not have to use it. You can still use the screen and knob and wheel controls while gesture is enabled. And you can even turn it off completely if you want. It also kind of makes it easier so you don't have to feel around for the button you want. And the gestures make a lot of sense for what they correspond to.
