Why the fuck do cars still have analog speedometers? Surely digital ones would be more accurate and much easier to read without looking away from the road for too long. (lemmy.world)

My car has both digital and analog on the dash.

The position of the needle on the dial is easier to see with peripheral vision, versus numbers.

Some cars have a digital speedo HUD displayed on the windshield. I find it too distracting.
