The only bit that really confused me was a sentence towards the end of the article:

Although Nvidia claims to have invented the first GPU with the GeForce 256…

1. I have never heard this claim before.
2. The GeForce 256 came out in 1999, years after cards from makers like 3DFX, Matrox, S3, etc. I’d figure something like the S3 ViRGE (Video and Rendering Graphics Engine) would hold the claim. That 2D/3D card came out in 1995.

I personally don’t care much about the interior, other than it’s not hideous and nothing squeaks while driving.

But, it can really change perception on a car for many other people.

For instance, a “mid-level” luxury vehicle can be made or broke, on it’s interior. If the outside looks good, but the interior feels and or looks “Cheap”, it won’t get the good reviews, and in turn poor sales.

Wait…

So, are we going to have to take advice from a Fast and Furious movie, and make sure we all have cars that are pre-ODB2, so they can’t be “hacked”?

Molded BUMPERS! The part of the car designed to take impacts. Used to stick out from the bodywork in order to protect it. Now, it’s molded into the bodywork, so if you get a dent on your “bumper”, it now costs a fortune to replace.
