when did you have to know how spark plugs work to drive a car? And isn’t this why car mechanics exist? On the other hand you had to learn at some point what and RPM gauge is... And we still have it in cars even though you could say you don’t really need it.

My car does not have a RPM gauge, instead it has two arrows that suggest when to gear up or down (it is manual)

One could say the interface was dumbed down to the minimum.

my brand new one has a lot of gauges... so i’d say my point is still valid. And i find them extremely useful, cos you can make better use of fuel if you know what they mean.
