Folks tolerate many of the features you describe (lane-keep assist, emergency auto braking (edit - spelling)) because they make one of the most dangerous activities we participate in as a society objectively safer. Engine auto stop helps reduce emissions. I get that you are putting a "pure" driving experience on a pedestal and from an aesthetic standpoint I tend to agree, but it sounds like you haven't had to mop up after a catastrophic collision. Tens of thousands of people die every year (edit- in highway collisions) and you are complaining about technologies designed with the express intent to mitigate that, so how do I look at your gripe as anything but selfish nostalgia?
