Anti locking brakes or automatic brakes ( in case of collision)
I believe the latest range of BMWs come with indicators as standard now.......
Is it PotG?

Dashcam, the standard of driving has deteriorated dramatically since lockdown imo. Too many people in a rush and driving too fast, they either have the reflexes of an F1 driver or are just *****. I know which side of the fence I’m on. A dashcam means you have concrete proof of the cause of most accidents
Auto lights that also go full beam and dip, really useful imo
Blind spot monitors in the wing mirrors, no more looking over your shoulder when overtaking

In my recent experience
Lane Control - get off you f***er, I know when I want to change lanes and whether there's anyone there to indicate to
Automatic Blind spot recognition - I've been checking my blindspots for over 50 years you cheeky f***er
Parking assistant which parks the car for you - I've spent f***ing years working out how to wedge it into a space 2 inches longer than my car and don't need any help
Isn't technology wonderful

Lane control is an abomination but if you prefer to look over your shoulder rather than use a blindspot monitor, you are just weird
I assume you DO look over your shoulder, not just indicate and pull out.

Thanks for this, it's all a new world for me. I sat behind the wheel of a car for the first time for about 30 years a couple of months ago and found out about power steering

Is that semaphore indicator arms, like my great aunt had on an old Austin A35 in the early 1970s?
