I seriously don't understand how people can stand to drive new cars. Every time I'm in one (e.g., a rental) I need to spend a ton of time figuring out how to turn tons of settings off just so the steering wheel won't randomly jerk or the car won't brake when I don't want to, to say nothing of the constant beeps and lights. A friend had an old Saab with a feature called "Black Panel" that turned off every gauge at night save what was absolutely necessary. It was so nice.
When I needed a car two years ago I purposefully looked for one that didn't even have a full screen, figured all those annoyances would be reduced that way (which probably annoy me even more than the OP). The radio/infotainment does have bluetooth and an aux port, but just a simple two-line digital display, perfect for my needs as someone who thinks showing album art to a driver should be illegal. The car ended up being a stick shift, which I had never driven before so I had to get a friend to pick it up for me and teach me how to drive it. So worth it though: made me a better driver and now I actually enjoy being engaged while driving.
