When I bought my new car in 2020, I disabled many built-in safety options quickly. I was "almost" perfectly fine with the enhanced front and rear camera for parking, have always liked apple car play, and the "waze" app warning of police attention in my travels. What modern features (built into your car) do you like and what options do you hate?
Question for Boomers?

I drive a stick so it has less of the safety crap. I dislike all advancements, except one: cars no longer begin rolling back the split second you take your foot off the brake, making driving a stick easier so I can leave my car with my wife and take her econo car out when I drink.
Being a fan of compact cars, I dislike automatic transmission, power steering, electric windows, pretty much anything that's electric rather than manual. I give ABS the benefit of the doubt, although it's far more important to avoid hard braking as much as possible. I like the backup camera, but I could live without it. It's annoying that I have to make sure bluetooth is off on my phone, so the car will quit trying to vulcan mind meld with it. I just use the nav app on my phone.
If I live long enough, I'm looking forward to not having a car, and typically only having to wait 5 minutes or less for a self-driving taxi to show up.
