Honestly I think you're missing the point.
The purpose of display isn't to mimic old tech - it is to show you what the car is detecting, because that is what it uses to warn you or take emergency action from. The cameras aren't there for you to see, they're there for the safety features even on the base cars.
While current Tesla's don't emphasize Autopilot, future sales will be more and more focussed on it. The whole future of the company will be on self driving, that's why all the tech is in there.
You bought the car of the future - not a horse
