"How cars were meant to be"

That's the phrase used by the instructor whose talk convinced me, in 2019, to "go electric".

And I'm sure Nikola Tesla (and Mr Musk) would agree.

But, apart from smoothed motion (by not requiring you to change gears) what other automatic features does my modern car have?

1. exterior lights (when gloomy or dark)
   
2. windscreen wiper-ing (when front screen becomes unclear)
   
3. rear windscreen wiper (when reverse drive is selected, if front wipers on)
   
4. louder audio warnings (if you're going fast)
   
5. cruise control (so you can rest your right foot)
   
6. high beam headlights
   
7. Reversing camera with “overhead” view
8. Reversing guide-lines (curve as you steer)
9. one-touch window controls
10. emergency "hazard" lighting (if stopping abruptly)
    
11. dialling the emergency services (after a crash)
12. release of parking brake (on use of accelerator)
13. self-cancelling turn signals (on straitening steering)
14. climate control (of the passengers/cabin)
15. anti-rollback (when an uphill slope's detected)
16. collision warning (when following too close)
17. lane-keeping assistance (if you start to waver)
18. voice control (of Bluetooth devices)
19. defrosting of mirrors (if heating rear screen)
20. locking of doors (above 6 mph)
    
21. capping of speed (to counter over-acceleration)
    
22. monitoring of speed and mandatory roadsigns
    
23. mirroring iPhone / Android functions (if plugged in)
    
24. tyre deflation monitoring ("TPMS", constantly)
    
25. scheduled pre-heating (if defined via the app)
26. stability control (by ABS and ESP systems)
27. airbag deployment (via inertia switches)
28. anti-lock braking system, “ABS” (to combat skids)
29. reversing signals (white rearward lights when reverse gear is selected)
30. brake signals ...naturally

Only two of these were on the car I learned to drive, in 1979 !
