My car displays a message when you turn the power off reminding you not to forget your phone. Lost count of how many times I’ve forgotten my phone and had to go back for it.
That’s a good one.
For me personally the most pointless feature in our car currently is the self-parking feature. It’s basically a function to show a mate that your car’s better than his because it does automagic stuff, and after that you’ll never use it again.
The fake exhaust noise generated by some cars. Why!
Doesn’t actually sound too bad in the GTE. Still noticeable that it’s not all real, but a 1.4l 4pot isn’t really a tenor when it comes to sound, so it does need some help.
