I think it's one of two things: 1) Most of Apple design is now by committee, which is why the Settings in an iPhone are a maze of confusion, especially around iCloud. The iPhone was supposed to be easy to use. Maybe it still is as long

Which ones? I don't mean just staying in your lane. The car I was in stopped at a red light (technically just following the car in front of it, which also stopped). Though I haven't researched the history of this feature.

30 minutes, that's impressive. Personally, I can't stand dealing with interior panels. I feel like every time I take apart a door panel I'm rolling the dice if I'm going to break any of the plastic pieces. I prefer to do
