No, that’s not even close to how bad it is now. Hell, I bought a car that’s a decade old and the fucker yells at me for being to close to the lines, yells if I’m approaching a stopped car “too fast” (which means it freaks out even when I’m slowing past 25 with 4-5 SUV lengths ahead of me), when I back up and there’s anything remotely close off to the side (remotely close is the 2.5 ft on either side of me as I back out my driveway), and it gives me an extra special freak out if there’s any possible cross traffic to 4 houses on either side of me. That last one is a nice warning the few times I’ve needed it, but more often than not, it’s spazzing out over the neighbors taking their dog out on the other side of the street.
I’ve had my gfs accord emergency brake on me twice. One was coming to a hairpin turn on a mountain and an rv had pulled off onto a turn out for us to pass. And another was several car lengths away from a car making a turn into a drive way. Neither of which were even remotely close to an accident. It just freaked out.
And I’ve had tons of beeps for side streets with cars park along a gentle curve which the car doesn’t understand the fucking road turns. I HATE all the tech.
I have a 2023 and while it does those things by default every single one of them can be turned off.
The front collision and the movement behind were left on because they occasionally help. Lane assist and the proximity got turned off immediately because of so many false alarms.
Yeah I didn’t mean to say that its been that bad forever. Its gotten worse in the last 10-15 years. But it started ages ago, back in the ancient times. I remember my 1987 Volkswagen had a buzzer if I had lights on when the ignition was off. That was a good thing to have tbh, especially back then. But now you get a warning bong just because you have a kilogram of apples on the back seat.
