Another added threat (for me): Since last year every car sold in the EU needs to alarm it's driver if he is going over the speed limit

The "feature" that prevents me from being tempted by almost any recent car is the "glass cockpit" approach to controls, where almost everything is on the touch screen. Radio, heat, hazard lights, you name it. Multiply nested menus for simple things like changing the radio station are not just annoying, they're dangerous.

From the FT:

"A 2005 Volvo with traditional physical buttons allowed drivers to complete basic tasks in just 10 seconds, less than one-quarter of the time it took in modern touchscreen-equipped cars, where simple tasks took up to 44.6 seconds to complete, according to a Swedish road test by Vi Bilägare. A study by the Transport Research Laboratory found that using in-car touchscreens can impair driver reaction times more than being over the legal alcohol limit or under the influence of cannabis."
How many pedestrians do you pass in 44 seconds?
