My biggest gripe is the "safety" features that just enable bad driving. Too lazy to shoulder check? don't worry, blinky light on the mirror has you. Don't bother looking back when backing out? camera has you. veering off the road a bit cause you're not paying attention? lane keep assist!
Any one of these things can fail and the shit driving habits are all some of these people have to fall back on.

Let's go back to roll up windows, standard transmissions, and using your eyes to see where things are.

I think you forgot that people have cell phones so those who were already couldn't drive now can't drive with a cell phone. And they're driving giant cars. I need their car to scream at them because I can not.

Yea. I'm diligent about the phone staying in my own pocket while I'm driving. I forget I can't always give others the benefit of the doubt.
