Not personalized, if you like it colder or hotter than usual, too bad.
The only benefit to the individual is cost in most cases, sometimes a car would even be cheaper but they can't afford the capital cost of driving lessons so they get stuck on trains. In the UK since learning to drive I have been on a train precisely once, travelling to the shithole capital because its retarded airport charges too much for parking and I had no other choice.
Same reason video game companies don't optimise games any more, it costs them more to do so but the cost of getting a better PC to play their game goes onto the customer.
TLDR: Car OP.
