Temperature gauges are going the way of the dodo. My wife's mazda only has a light for when the temp is low and a light for high temp. Most likely won't even notice the temp light came on. Hell her tire pressure was low and the car beeps when a warning light comes on. We both looked at the cluster for 30-45 seconds before we found the light. So much other stuff on the cluster that warning lights just blend in.
Seems like we are moving further from the idea that people are capable of monitoring their own vehicles. You won't have to see a light or figure out what it means. The car will just speak to you, set up a service appointment, drive itself to the appointment if it can or call a tow truck itself. Then you will get a service bill in the mail and just won't care what was actually wrong. Its fixed now and you didn't have to lift a finger. Not looking forward to this. Hopefully not in my lifetime.
