  • Summary

  • Someone asked me recently what was my biggest annoyance with many new
    cars today. Without doubt the biggest negative with many new models is the
    plethora of warning and driver monitoring systems that nearly drive you crazy.
    Drive any new Chinese made car and it features a range of safety systems that
    warn you via various chimes that you’ve taken your eyes off the road, moved
    slightly out of your lane or exceeded the speed limit. Its overdone and in many
    new models very poorly calibrated and set for driving conditions that are more
    the norm in congested Asian cities. And unfortunately, they can’t be deleted on
    the run, the only way to get rid of them is to re-set them at every start. Hyundai
    and Kia similarly have excessive warning chimes and frankly they’re
    counterproductive to good driving practice and become a major disruption to
    concentration. I’m David Berthon
