We were debating this at coffee time and I'm actually astounded by the number of our students who think it's a great idea. As far as they're concerned it gives them more time to browse the web, read and do other stuff. I swear none of them drive for enjoyment. They should just get the freaking bus leaving the roads clear for people who actually like to drive

Amen.

It's a modern trend though, look at the cars on sale and what the makers are targeting in the market, Generally, all that makers sell are numb/bland techno-boxes with tft displays (for no apparent reason other than to appeal to the ipod generation), auto lights, wipers etc. The only people who WANT that are people who don't really "like" cars, they are just tools that they want to do a job and give them the minimum of fuss and forget about at the end of the day, white goods. Zanussi and Hotpoint could branch into the car market and produce a car with the same flair as 99% of the market.

I also have a theory that as cars get easier to drive and the roads are filled with more people who don't really like driving and are reliant on all these driving assists, driving standards are going to plummet. People who don't like driving are generally **** drivers who just get where they need to be with "meh". Minimum of care and effort, on bordeline autopilot.
