I do understand the benefits of legislative protection. I also agree that the driver is and will always remain responsible for the car and its impact, physical, social and ecological.
Seat Belt law - excellent AirBags - excellent despite the ugly steering wheel issue Some of the new stuff boils my brains.
Lane warning departure I get but wish I had a simple one button switch off. In road works the damn thing eats rear brakes and gets on my nerves. Front impact warning - Yup get it above town speeds but in town it has a tendency to brake early and hard and is not adjustable. The wife screams. Blind spot - yes I like this.
The chassis balance/protection stuff needs a little more granular option or a simple off button for moments when I want to decide at my own risk. These and the eco-bland vs sport modes (never mind the suspension options) all need a default to get past WLTP and regulations but seem to have little default override.
I want a "soft dashboard".
I would like a personal page on the touchscreen which has one hard button on the dash to select it. It could then be totally programmed with a set of my choices. A single button that turns lane departure on or off in a single press. Same for Sport+ on the engine map.
Better still a learn function like a "keyboard macro" on a PC. Learn multiple strokes in a single hit. Get in, it sees your keyfob and selects your profile. Your personal settings are loaded Your menu for the other pre-programmed options and placed on the hard dashboard button menu
Lets face it for years we have had windscreen washers/lights/indicators done by the car using sensors. I will often manually turn the dipped lights on when the road is tree covered and sun/shade brings risk in a black car. The Morgan is also low and a small frontal area so having lights on is not a bad thing.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

Once Autopilot is engaged you can do what you like - look at the countryside, have a snack, engage in a phone conversation, read Miscellany..........
To quote Tesla: Do I still need to pay attention while using Autopilot? Yes. Autopilot is a hands-on driver assistance system that is intended to be used only with a fully attentive driver. It does not turn a Tesla into a self-driving car nor does it make a car autonomous.
