Car makers waste billons on tech we don’t want

AutoExec Summary
The JD Power survey in the US reveals that many new car buyers are not interested in advanced driver aids crucial to the development of driverless cars. False warnings and annoying alerts prompt drivers to switch off these aids, and older demographics are particularly wary of driverless technology. Consumer Reports criticized Tesla’s Autopilot, and the survey found that lane departure warning systems were particularly frustrating. Some brands are more successful at making their safety technology effective without being overbearing. The Kia Stinger was the top-performing vehicle in the survey, with a score of 834 out of 1000. Elon Musk’s plan to make Tesla cars cheaper is also a related story.
