I wonder how these screen stuff will age over next 5, 10 years.
I personally think we have hit a sweet spot with them not aging poorly. I think buttons or screens; it's not a matter of what the car comes with but rather how well it's designed. A well designed screen with a quality UI (such as BMW idrive) will age well, and has aged well.

While I'm no fan of the ever-larger screen war that car makers are involved in, the technology isn't exactly new. There are plenty of 5+ year old cars with screens and there hasn't been some massive recall involving broken screens like some were predicting.
Oh I meant just in terms of how dated they will look in the future.
I could see that, but cars are moving more and more into the realm of being "throw away" items, so apparently no one cares anymore, which is a damn shame.
It runs in cycles though. Cars from the 50s and 60s had timeless interiors that still look amazing today. The early digital displays and screens from some cars in the 80s look comical today, while a lot of the regular 90s interiors look perfectly fine today because they went back to analog gauges. Now we're are at it again with screens that fill the entire dash.
