New car features that you hate and make you think less of the person for adopting and making mainstream.

Infotainment systems.

I personally think that if your involved in an accident with someone who has an infotainment screen, even if it's your fault, they should be held liable.

Who knows how dead I'd be right now if my car didn't start beeping 5 seconds into driving it because my seatbelt isn't on

What's also fun is that beeping will happen if I unbuckle my seatbelt to get out and do something real quick. It will do it for hours not just like a retarded minute, makes no sense

That feature that shuts your cars engine off at a red light or when idling too long.

Great way to overuse your starter and cause a malfunction later.

the button to turn that off, is the first thing I press after starting it.

There was once a discussion on o&a about what happens if you turn the ignition off in your car while driving. Ant said it cant happen and there are failsafes because of stupid people, but callers said it turns the car off and locks the wheels and brakes, it never did get tested or come to a conclusion. So what happens?

GM had a couple of deaths cause the spring in the ignition key thingamajig was too weak. People were shutting off their ignition by bumping into it with their knees. A smart driver could safely coast to a stop at the side of the road, but some people died anyway.
