Yeah exactly, tech should only be in the form of safety measures like proximity alerts, lane stabilizing if you drift, cameras, etc. It's when they complicate basic controls like HVAC, radio, seats, mirrors, etc that pisses me off. That's not even starting to talk about other paywalls like a subscription for heated seats or whatever; also didn't I just read that Mercedes requires a yearly subscription if you want to fully accelerate your vehicle?
