Talk to me about buttons being less dangerous than a touch screen 
Things that would happily not have on your car

You don't need to press one of those buttons to enable you to press another button, which then enables you to press the actual button you wanted to press in the first place though.Talk to me about buttons being less dangerous than a touch screen
I do get your point mind

Mine would't do that because of movement of the steering wheel.Surprised no-one has listed auto stop/start. A right pain if it kicks in the moment you want pull out of a junction or roundabout. Thankfully, I can turn it off.

New touchscreens....the irony of you can be done by the cops for phone use when most new cars are in fact one humongous iPad.
Good shout, had to get the secondary stop/start battery replaced on my Volvo last month. Goodbye to £200!

After today… corrective steering.
Narrow lane, enough room for two cars but I need to hug the far side. Bloody car wanted to drive me into oncoming traffic.
Need to find the option to turn that off.
I just need an accelerator and a brake.

In my car only comes on after 40mph. What speed were you doing on this narrow lane?

I hate this Lane Assist.
you can turn it off in settings.
my car has a button on the steering wheel to turn it off, but it defaults on every time I start up.

Are you assuming that his car is exactly like yours?
In both my cars and the wife’s this will activate over 10mph.

No. Who needs lane assistance at 10mph? Bizarre.

Then why the concern about how fast he was going?
In many cars most safety systems are tied to a single MCU that triggers at a minimum speed. BMW and Merc seem that this speed is 10mph as it also triggers airbag, seatbelt and speed limited systems.

Ironically, that appears to be an "automatic" .

As mentioned already in this thread both my wife's car and mine have parking assist. I've never used nor want to use it!
Anybody successfully used it?!

I had on my previous car (Merc) and I used it a couple of times out of interest - it was really good - however the number of times I need to parallel park is very low. It is on my current car (also a Merc) but a slightly different updated system and I haven't bothered to try it out.As mentioned already in this thread both my wife's car and mine have parking assist.

Yes, but it totally freaks me out sitting there watching the car drive itselfAs mentioned already in this thread both my wife's car and mine have parking assist. I've never used nor want to use it!

.Also, the length of the 840 makes me really nervous that it won't hit something.

Not as fast as I usually would as I remember being behind people. It’s a comfortable 50mph corner but probably 40mph.
I do favour the left side being left eye/brain dominant and curb hugging extraordinaire so my perception to the right maybe different.

Yes, I like it, gets you in spaces you never thought it would. Obviously because the steering wheel flies round quicker you ever could.As mentioned already in this thread both my wife's car and mine have parking assist. I've never used nor want to use it!
