    One more connector, one more cable in harness, more coding, more cad time, more manufacturing time and more testing.

    If it comes out to 20 dollars per car and you multiply it by 50000 a year for a relatively popular model there is a nice bonus for the ceo. Oh, and the price to consumer increases at the same time.

      More coding?! Are you serious? Over a touch screen!

      Also, extremely easy to test.

      Or you could just raise the price of the car by $20 since you’ve just added thousands in value?

      I mean shit, let’s take the seats out of the car! Bam! Just saved you billions, right? /s
