It's very hard to do that when every few seconds some new alarm goes off and some big red flashing warning on the TV screen that's blocking your view of the road comes on.

Perhaps not everyone should be driving? This is not a criticism towards you, I don't have the patience to be behind a wheel, and I know of many drivers that are a danger to themselves and others. If the side effect of this system is that there are fewer people driving because they can't manage the alarms, then that's good enough for me.
I don't want any kind of alarms, indicators, beepers, flashers, or other distract-o-trons in cars, for any reason.
It's pretty simple.
You should be driving a car, not a pinball table.
That's fair, but what you want is not the only thing that matters. Your driving affects me as well, and I want you to be beeped at when you're not doing a good job.

This hyperbole is barely worth responding to. If someone really triggers alerts on such a regular basis, then I have to question whether they have a road legal driving style based on the quality and accuracy those assistants actually have now achieved.
Oh, and the dashboard in my newest car is smaller than any dashboard with analog needles could ever have been. Dashboards probably have gotten smaller, not bigger with the switch to LCD screens.
The "assistants" are consistently useless.
I neither want nor need anything beeping away because it thinks that someone might be driving in the lane beside me, which is what seems to freak the Kias out the most.
I don't want it to suddenly panic brake from 70mph to 30mph because it saw the shadow of the car I'm overtaking on the road.
None of this is good.
