8. Oldsmobile Toronado Trofeo: Touchscreen Trouble
The 1990 Oldsmobile Toronado Trofeo introduced the Visual Information Center (VIC), an early touchscreen system that controlled climate, audio, and provided vehicle diagnostics. While innovative, the VIC was plagued by laggy responses and frequent technical glitches, leading to driver frustration. Despite its ambitious design, the system’s unreliability turned it into a punchline rather than a technological marvel. For more details, see The Drive.
