Treating a car like a mobile living room that needs a desktop really turns me off, i have zero interest in that. I drive to connect myself with the road and remove myself from being on the computer all day at work. I hope future GM driving enthusiast oriented vehicles don't follow down the path of removing the driver interaction from actual driving.

That doesn't mean i don't want tech. I want the technology that connects me to driving like the HUD for example (something i don't think you'll find on a tesla!). There's probably other ways we could use tech to enhance driving, like enhancing the feedback from the steering wheel to encode more information than before. Maybe new visual representations of things like slip angle in vehicle HUD.
