We were just in Sicily for vacation and got a new BYD for rent. At first I was excited, coming from US I never tried a Chinese car and wanted to check it out. Excitement was quickly replaced with annoyance, that thing would beep for every damn reason. "keep eyes on road", "you are tired, consider taking a break", etc. Then all the damn safety features that a couple of times almost caused me to slam into another car. After a couple of days, I blocked the camera monitoring me and then would spend the first minute after getting in the car turning off all these "helpers", luckily most of them I could still disable. Camera couldn't be disabled in settings but just covering it up worked well. I thought about getting scotch tape but never got around to it.
