Also check out the 70s Aston Martin Lagonda. It a trip!!!

I obviously wasn't driving at the time so some of the details are a bit fuzzy, but I remember getting in the Turnpike Cruiser one day and started playing with the buttons. After I got out of the car it drifted down the street and hit another parked car. Pushed the wrong button I guess! I couldn't sit for a week after that little fiasco!!!! hahahah

@zodwraith5745 5 жыл бұрын

Parents owned the Riviera. The wow factor was off the charts at first, but it's still a GM, meaning that cheap proprietary screen died shortly out of warranty, and Buick wanted 2k to replace it at the time. They spent the next several years driving with very limited HVAC and radio controls. What seemed absolute genius turned into the biggest failure because such an expensive part controlled everything. Also it was early 70s resistive touch technology meaning it was about as responsive as you'd expect that old for the late 80s screen to be. Even before it died, having to press firmly 2-3 times got old really fast, and after it died showed what a colossal blunder tech for tech's sake can really be. Only the IDEA of it gives the Riviera any business being here, but it's poor implementation is an example of a huge GM failure of charging a premium price for old tech because it was used somewhere new. Thanks for reminding me of how badly we despised that effing car. >.

The only American cars now are "muscle cars" and odd models which nobody wants. Ford is dropping all but the Mustang, GM is struggling with it's electric and hybrid models, and Chrysler barely hangs on with the 300; almost all all the rest they offer are overseas designs. American automobiles died in the 80's when they refused to believe that the imported competitors were actually better cars which people actually wanted instead of the crap Detroit was offering us. Now they and us are paying the price for their stuck-in-the-past attitudes.

Had a Reatta with the touchscreen, and the functionality went much farther than the typical functions. You could display the error codes and almost all sensor input voltages. You could turn off individual injectors and override the outputs...so you could, for example, test the IAC by forcing it higher or lower. It had the ability to take a snapshot of all parameters if something weird was going on. I'm guessing there's a secret way to do the same thing with current vehicles....that someone will post I'm sure...

My wife had an Oldsmobile Toronado Trofeo as her first car in 2004 and it too had the infamous green lit tube touchscreen. Her's worked flawlessly decades later. Her sunroof, however, leaked like a freshly iceberged Titanic.

Love the 1986 Buick! On the Driver's side of the Deck lid, I noticed the Macintosh (Apple) Emblem. Was that from the cars owner, or did Macintosh produce the "Touch-screen" technology for GM? Great informative video! Thanks, Thomas Port Orchard, Washington

From Leo: I have actually worked on Vidicon tube cameras of the late 1950's. The vidicon tubes then were not small, and the power supply, oscillators and amplifiers to support it were large, inefficient and generated a lot of heat. With a 6 volt system, common in those days, the generators would be taxed to try to keep that system operating for very long. The idea men were way ahead of the technology. Fun video, thanks for posting it.

Thanks for posting about the collision avoidance system. There was also a company developing automatic breaking in the late '80s and early 90's, but it never made it to the market. The airbag was deemed the safety standard. What a joke they preferred we get into the accident instead of avoiding it. I guess they were more interested in selling parts than stopping people from getting into accidents. Thank you for the video. I saved it into my favorites just to show a few people that I was not full of BS. The tech to avoid accidents is older than I first knew, but as I stated not profitable for Detroit.
