Technology has its place when it facilitates the drivers attention to driving
and situational awareness of surrounding vehicles, and of course safety.

But when it takes the drivers attention off the road and into the cockpit, then its
a formula for disaster.

Learning situational awareness should be mandatory on the drivers test as most drivers have no clue and are dangerous drivers.

They should also teach autobahn driving rules for highway use, where you keep to the right lane like your life depends on it until you are ready to pass.

I like feeling the car and not sure I even like the E-gas as i feel disconnected somewhat from the cars source of power and hence control.

For a commuter vehicle I think the driver should be removed completely some day when the technology exists so the fools dont ride my bumper while doing their makeup in the rear view mirror, or having a picture chat with someone on the phone or beating their kids into submission.

I$ think all pertinent gauges should be projected on a Heads Up Display in your line of sight out the front window.
