List of things on vehicles that contribute to the "dumbing down of america"
Like the title says, put in your thoughts of things on vehicles that contribute to the dumbing down of america. Or things that have made people lazy.
#1. Cars that automatically park themselves.

3-) Rear View cameras on vehicles that have no blind spots or reasons to have them. Your just to lazy to turn around.
4-)Automatic Headlights. You cant flip a switch?
5-) Rain sensing Wipers. GTFO
6-) Push button start. Can't put the key in anymore?
7-) Tire pressure systems. I guess those little checkers that look like pens are tooo difficult to use.

Automatic transmissions. It gets harder and harder to find a manual car nowadays, and some models of cars aren't even offered with a stick!

How about DVD players in everything from cars, to vans and even TRUCKS! what the heck happened to a good Cd or even Ipod attachment
Air conditionned and heated seats or even leather seats in trucks
Carpet bedding (thank you lincoln)
Power Sliding doors, lol they are always broken
How about cross overs with 4x4 that never see dirt, nor should they do anything other then gravel roads (Nissan Rogue, Hyundai Tucson, etc)

Cab space the size of Texas. Bigger is not better, especially when it wastes resources.

Re: List of things on vehicles that contribute to the "dumbing down of america"
Huge rims with low profile tires. Nothing ruins the ride more. Also people don't understand that it actually lowers the resale value of the vehicle - no matter how much they spent.

Re: List of things on vehicles that contribute to the "dumbing down of america"
-Back up sensors that tell you when your too close to something, thats what mirrors are for!
-Radio controls on the wheel, because leaning forward is soo hard
-Push button four wheel drive, what happened to the manual levers so you KNEW when four wheel drive was engauged not hoping it engauged. Guess car companys didnt want their executives to hurt themselves with their lotioned up and manicured hands by pulling too hard.
