I'm trying to decide if people are stupid, if car manufacturers think they are stupid, or a mix of both.
Almost exactly 2 years ago someone went in to the back of my car on the M8 around Eurocentral. Nothing unusual in this, it's a very busy road that goes from 4 lanes to 2 quite quickly. No one hurt, no serious damage. Got a Hyundai something or other as my courtesy car whilst my rear bumper was being replaced and it would not shut up. Wipers turned on or off, lights turned on or off or anything else and the dashboard put up a big flashing message to tell me what I'd just done. Being in what the car thought was the wrong gear for 20 seconds caused it to have a fit, despite the fact that it is unaware of what I know, that I'm coming up to a junction. Trying to turn off the indicator after changing lanes to overtake really confused it.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
