On my car the automatic features - automatic headlight on/off, automatic high beam, automatic lock when you walk away etc. - work well enough to be a plus (except when you switch to the other, older car that doesn't have those features). But the cruise control. You can not disable the adaptive part. It's either adaptive cruise control or nothing. And at night, the camera-based system sometimes gets confused in the mess of over-bright headlights coming the other way and brakes for no reason. So you end up not being able to use cruise control at all. I guess the reason they make it that way is exactly the habit problem. You don't want people crashing into the car in front because they forgot that the cruise is not in adaptive mode. Automatic wipers would be great (if optional to enable!) After all that same camera that makes all the other wizardry work can see rain drops on the windshield in front of it. So why don't the make that feature?
