MODERATORS
Analogue gauges still break. Even aircraft use digital displays these days, including on standby instruments. The issue is quality. If it's built like garbage, it's going to break more quickly and more frequently.
Displays on connected cars are just more susceptible as companies can push broken OTA updates that should never have passed QA, if QA even exists, but again that's a quality issue.
