On a hot, sunny day, one of the most important things is being able to turn on the car's air conditioning as quickly as possible before setting off. But what happens when the AC controls are moved to the touchscreen? Drivers may have to wait for the infotainment system to boot up before they can access the settings, making an already hot situation even worse. A man demonstrated this in a video, showing how moving the AC controls to the infotainment screen has made a simple task more complicated because he has to wait for the system to start before the controls appear.The video then shows how quickly the AC can be adjusted in an older car equipped with physical knobs for controlling the temperature and airflow. The man's main intention is to compare the AC controls in an older car with those in a newer, tech-laden vehicle, highlighting how modern controls can make a simple task more complicated and uncomfortable. While an older car requires no waiting for software to load, the driver can simply rotate a few knobs and have cool air coming from the vents almost instantly.The video shared on Instagram begins with the man starting a Ford vehicle. Although the model is not specified, it appears to be a relatively recent model, since its AC controls are integrated into the infotainment system. However, the screen takes a few seconds to turn on, prompting the man to say, "Come on, let me turn the AC on."the interior of a car with a lot of people in the backgroundThen, the Ford logo appears on the screen, but the wait seems to test his patience. He says, "I get it, you're a Ford! Let me turn the f***ing AC on," before the screen finally turns on, allowing him to immediately set the AC to its highest setting. The camera then switches to the interior of an old Volkswagen, with the man in the driver's seat. He takes less than five seconds to adjust the knobs to his desired settings and turn on the AC.AdvertisementAdvertisementPeople have reacted to the video, with one user saying, "That screen main function should be only for maps or reverse cam," while another suggested that drivers should "start the modern car with an app, and cool it down before you get in." Another user pointed out that on a "Tesla is one click on the screen and it's on. Quicker than all those knobs." One user highlighted a worst-case scenario involving the screen, writing that "sometimes it glitches and the screen doesn't come on or needs to reset." [sic]
