No idea why it's even in it. A cassette tape player! Separate from the stereo. 🤣

@swirlie I don't even want one. The CD player in the radio I don't even use either. Yet I do have some CD's.
The radio is just fine for me.

@swirlie I got a whole lot more than that. I received with less than 86k miles.

Honestly, I'm having trouble thinking of one, of course I got one of the cheaper models.
I guess I'd have to go with, the rear window wiper (I just don't use it, and it doesn't seem to do much good when I've tried to use it) or the hidden button you have to press to open the gas door.

@SunSetStrut Mine has synthetic leather. More durable than real leather, and easy to clean.

Automatic emergency braking ADVISORY.
An ADVISORY alarm goes off just seconds before you're about to crash into something if you haven't started braking, then after you crash, it automatically notifies emergency services in your area that you've been involved in a crash of some kind.
Wouldn't it be easier for all concerned for the computer to just apply full brakes if the driver fails to do the same thing just prior to an impending collision with an object?
The only vehicle I know of that actually takes control of your car if you don't start braking yourself, is Mercedes. In a Mercedes, their system will attempt to steer your car around a potential collision even if you are not using the cruise control (you are manually driving the car) and if the computer can't steer to avoid the collision, the computer will apply FULL brakes until the car comes to a complete stop using a maximum braking effort, then it will unlock all the doors and release all of the seatbelts automatically.

Throttle disable when it thinks I’m too close to something. In heavy California traffic, that’s worse than useless, it’s dangerous.

@swirlie What were people doing before this feature? In my life it is useless in yours obviously not so much.

I never thought about mirrors that point at the ground when reversing until I got into a newer car and noticed it doing that.
It was a rental car and at first I thought something happened to the mirrors, but soon learned that this is an industry standard now. In a way, they're handy when they point at the ground like that, but on the other hand, I never had problems parking my car without them in the past.
What I don't like about them is the size of the mirror itself. To contain all that tilting equipment inside the mirror, it's size has to be enormous which now creates a huge blind spot when you're trying to look past mirror for oncoming traffic. I really prefer the old tiny mirrors that are out of sight and out of mind.

@swirlie While understanding and respecting the utility and the safety of it, I just find it frustrating.
Actually, because of my age any feature except power steering and air conditioning is annoying. Yes, I acknowlege that with age my patience is running low at most things, but new fangled things get extra ire.
