A tachometer is a nice indicator if something is going awry in your system. Also a lot of people, at least outside the USA and Commonwealth, use manual gears and most cars are produced with both the transmissions and then adapted for the local markets.

Tachometer does it measure tachyons? I'm going to guess its the gage that shows rpm and a quick google confirms this. I so deserve a beer tonight.
I don't use mine very much even if I have an manual but I think its nice to have to help notice if something is starting to go wrong. My current car doesn't show engine temperature which I found quite annoying. Especially since the winter are cold it would be nice to know when the engine is up to the right temperature.

My car shows the following with gauges (no idiot lights):
oil pressure
water temp
oil temp
rear differential oil temp
transmission oil temperature
fuel pressure
fuel/air mixture
amps
I have much more car than most folks.

Well, when truly self driving cars become reality, all the gadgets will go away. The car will drive itself to the automated oil change shop at 2 AM when you're asleep, it'll pull in to the automated filling station when it's low on fuel, it'll always drive the speed limit, and if it detects engine problems, it'll find the nearest mechanic and "phone" in ahead of time to have a self-driving rental waiting for you.
Then again, in four years, we may all be riding in horse and buggy carriages.

I have wondered about that. My automatic car has one, my five speed motorcycle does not...
Next bike will though.

honestly, my car is so quiet, if I didnt have a tach, I wouldn't realize that I shifted into 2nd(auto) half a mile ago and forgot to shift again. 4500rpm at 35... something isnt right...

I did that once. Top down across the I80 in northern Nevada at 70 mph in 5th gear. Hmm, the RPM is a bit high ! Oops! Shift to 6th real quick. Whew!

No one ever needed a tachometer - it's a boy's toy. Real drivers know when to change gear.

Hi All,
Latest news from new job while trying to sort out I2C problems fumble fingers managed to knock a wire off the prototype I am working on. Bad language ensued & then the realisation that I am the only one in I can take my time and 'do' a repair & upgrade to the test facilities of the board, complete them and test (soldering to IC's makes me nervous) works! Boss man arrives back, all is well. and bonus points I didn't burn myself!!

Choice: go something "artificial" vs. something "real,"
Answer: former easier to cover the mistakes.
... and based on their own past performance there will still be plenty to cover.

It is becoming apparent that the ease of personal survival is inversely proportional to the level of personal intellect. If we give man A.I. so it can make all of their decisions for them, man will no longer be able to think on his own and will become subservient to the A.I. and its controllers.

So, as some of the longer term viewers may know, I used to be a C++ developer; way back in the mists of time. I loved C++ and then the new girl came to town and seduced me with her wiles. No longer would I put up with manual memory management, iterating over for statements when I could use the seductive foreach.
Well, I have recently started getting quite heavily back into C++ using the newer additions to the language such as auto and for (auto index : my_vector) as a foreach. The features that are available now are great and C++ really has matured. So much so that I'm using it to write some drone software. I'm a big fan of fluent interfaces so I thought I'd play around and see how they work in C++ to see if I still want to keep with the new C++ and damn it, it's so straightforward.

An empty destructor is almost as scary as an empty catch block
I just hope that they will one day add reflection. It has been under consideration more than once, but never made it into the standard.
