Has is in-car-entertainment stagnated too?

Not so recently only the high end cars had a screen, nowadays every model in the range of every car manufacturer has a screen. So that growth has came to a standstill. Only if people suddenly start buying more cars more frequently can that sector grow.

Given how slow the main marques are at releasing bona-fide EV cars I think it is a long time before self driving gets to be a thing. Even internet of things is not exactly something the world is desperate for. Maybe the party is over.

Funny you mention that because co-habiting the front page of HN right now along with this thread is news that Madza is removing touch screens from its in-car systems. Tactile buttons are best when operating a machine that requires focus. Being able to reach for and feel a button, lever, or dial while focusing on driving is way safer than having to stare a a small screen to press the right area.
