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.
