I like cars that I do the driving instead of a machine... well i have to agree with you on that score.. i have never been able to really like using cruise control for example...i mean just how lazy must one be to feel it's too much effort to put your foot on the gas pedal. the other thing is that i think the continuous driver/automobile interaction helps maintain driver acuity and awareness. and of course the "fun" aspect is gone... otoh, if you spend hours in stop and go traffic barely getting up to 15 mph (while driving in LA)....i found myself after the first hour longing for an automatic transmission from your article.. Overcomplication is, of course, the bane of user-friendliness, and no friend to driver safety. As cars and systems have become more complex, and more subject to electronic and computer control, the cockpit array has begun to resemble that found in an old jet, this even as jet cockpits have evolved toward simpler designs with a minimum of clear, graphic displays, plus—in the case of fighter cockpits—intuitive fingertip controls for both hands. the more i think about it, the more i think i want the rpm gauge fully under the control of my brain/nervous system/musclature if i were in a wheelchair of course i would think differently <ng> simply put I want to be the ultimate driving machine
