I hate that my 2020 Ioniq EV takes decisions for me, and just overall pretends to know better. I've turned off all the gadgets I could find (lane assist etc, I hate the feeling of the steering wheel wanting to move by itself) but some remain. Some examples: (1) I want to move my car a couple of feet in the driveway, but it won't let me without my seat belt on. (2) Sometimes, even after just a few minutes, it'll replace the whole main display (speedometer etc) with an image of a cup of coffee and tells me to take a break (3) It won't do cruise control under 30 km/h (which is ok I guess), but instead of refusing to enable cruise control under 30 km/h, it will set the speed to 30 and accelerate. (4) And the most annoying (but maybe not in the same category) : when I'm braking, and drive over a bump, it'll temporarily disable regen (ABS related?), causing a sudden loss in applied braking power. This was very scary at first, but now that I know, I scan the road for bumps when slowing down.

All that said though, my wife's 2 year old Ioniq 5 is way worse with the gadgets and seems to be always beeping for everything.

In other news, I test drove a Volvo 240 yesterday and am picking it up later this week.
