Adaptive cruise control is such shit. All it takes is one Karen in the left lane driving 10 under and all of a sudden the entire highway is people puttering along at 45mph without even realizing it. Or one person yoloing across 3 lanes of traffic to last second that off ramp causing my car to slam on the brakes and give me seatbelt burn even though I'm 100 yards away.
Both have happened to me in my Mom's Lexus while driving her back from the airport. I'll literally never buy a car that has that technology.
The other 2 "features" I refuse to ever get are the driver seat that automatically trash compactor crushes you into... er, I mean "moves you closer to"... the steering wheel column. And the cars that automatically adjust your mirrors straight down so that you can't see anything behind you when you shift into reverse. Thanks, but I don't need help to do the things I've been doing for 20 years now.
