> Older cars had dim green lighting for the gauges and even had a knob to adjust the brightness up and down.

Saab also had a feature where it would turn off all the lights in the instrument panel, but you could turn them back on by hitting the top of the dash. Might be a Swedish thing as Volvo had it too.

Many if not most cars had green gauges in the 80s and 90s. They all had some sort of knob, wheel or other adjustment.

Saab went further though and just light up the relevant instruments. If you're good on fuel, it remains dark etc.

Saab loved to talk about their fighter jets in their car marketing.

That's a nice feature, but the driver actively operating that camera at 70 mph is quite unsettling.
