According to a study by J.D. Power, many new car owners find today's automotive offerings unnecessarily complicated -and aggravating. Auto123 has more.
• A study by J.D. Power found that many new car owners find some of latest technological features annoying and/or confusing.
That’s what a new study carried out by The J. D. Power Group revealed. The sheer number of features offered with new models is polarizing for owners. In terms of technology, owners of recent vehicles reported an overall average of 43.4 on that PP100 scale for gesture controls, with 21 percent of respondents saying the technology doesn't offer enough functionality. Other technologies, such as hands-free driving aids, received low marks for usefulness. The advanced semi-autonomous driving systems offered by Tesla and General Motors didn't fare much better.
Some driver assistance technologies did receive high marks. Owners generally like functions such as blind spot monitoring, which respond to a specific need while driving, rather than introducing an innovation they don't understand.
