QOTD: At What Price Connectivity?

From this week's Automotive News, editor Jason Stein talks to former Hyundai CEO and now TrueCar board member John Krafcik about connected cars

"Do you notice that as we talk about increased connectivity in the car, we are also talking about being less connected with the car?" Krafcik asks through a phone line. "Connectivity and autonomy. Sounds like those are at odds with each other, hey?"

Krafcik, who owns a Caterham and a Porsche 911, is one executive who can speak with authority on the inverse relationship between in-car connectivity and feeling a connection with one's automobile. Unfortunately, we seem to be moving inexorably towards the "connected car" model, at the expense of feeling connected to our cars – and most people don't seem to mind one bit.
