Modern cars have tons of advanced features that require a decent amount of computing. I mean just look at the evolution from radio cassette players to modern integrated GPS/media player/bluetooth/etc systems. Also things like automatic parking assist, rear view camera, computer vision algorithms to detect if the driver is falling asleep. It's feature creep all over the place.

You have a weird definition of "feature creep". Some of those things you listed save money, others save lives. I definitely wouldn't include such things in "feature creep".
- simias 9y agoSorry, it might not have been the right word. I didn't mean that these features weren't useful, only that in the past decades the past decades the amount of software in cars really exploded from basically 0 to having a bunch of fully featured computers dealing with various subsystems, from fuel injection to radio playback. Software "creeped" everywhere.
