There seems to be a lot of people turning off what should be considered basic safety features, or arguing against seatbelt alarms. Most of these features do come with nags and messages, modern cars have those to encourage your behaviour towards being safe by default. That they annoy incessantly could reflect a lack of change towards that safe behaviour. I'm no fan of internet connected software in cars, bitrot of software in cars (and the fact that computing in them will likely only be good in the 5y range whilst the car might survive in the 20y range), there is a lot to legitimately dislike... but so many messages in this thread seem very vitriolic against the safety features that, to me, seem entirely reasonable.
