I like some of the new car features, but not all....

ABS has been around since I have been driving. I didn't have it in my first car, but I did in my second and it is probably the most significant safety feature other than mandatory air bags.

The lane departure and crash avoidance systems are nice, but they are a bit finicky. My 2025 Tahoe engaged the auto braking to avoid hitting a butterfly (not kidding). It scared the shit out of me. Luckily I was only going 20 at the time.
