That and the ability to set a temperature that is then automatically maintained.

I’d argue split climate for the driver and passenger seat is the only important missing innovation.

Till one of the 3 in vent temp sensors fails and my AC won’t turn on until its replaced but you have to remove the entire dash to access it so it would cost $1500 to change a $20 sensor

3 zone a/c is also pretty nice. No more “it’s too <exact opposite of what the driver is feeling>” whining from the back.

True, but in my experience that’s on a separate console in the back seat.

Just point the vents fancyman

I somewhat regularly drive 9+ hours and split controls are not really comparable to just pointing the vents. If I am the driver, I need cool air blowing at me to keep me awake and alert. No longer having to compromise with passengers has been a pretty big improvement for a drive that long.

While I’m eating sushi, snapchatting, and flipping off that jerk that cut me off?? That sounds dangerous.
