- lane departure warning
- lane keep assist
- forward collision warning
- automatic braking
- auto stop/start
GM has said that most of it's cars and light-trucks will have automatic braking and forward collision warnings by 2022. And they said this as part of an agreement with many other manufacturers.
I'm not saying these things are bad. In fact, I don't care if other people have them. Frankly, I'm really looking forward to the "self-driving car revolution." I can't wait to have a time when 80% of the cars on the road are all driving the speed limit in the right-hand lane . . . so I can make some good time going 80 in the left.
We may be getting to the point where I will elect to not buy a new car and simply keep my old one (or buy more/different old ones).

You know all that can be turned off.
I'll bet this guy wished he had lane keep assist while he was staring at the infotainment screen:
