Not a fan of TPMS either.

But, for safety on the road, I do like DRL's, rear amber turn signals, and fender turn signals... all of which I believe should be a requirement on every vehicle.

I have yet to meet a human who cannot turn on their own lights.

First thing I did when I got the Yaris was take out the drl cartridge.

Backup cameras are idiotic. You can turn your head and look. Not hard. If someone is really scared they should take the time to get out of the car and walk around it to make sure nothing is there.

Nothing should be mandated, government terrorism, aka mandated garbage, is why cars cost absurd amounts of money and weigh far more than they need to, making everything cars do harder.

The only actual safety device in a car is a persons brain. No amount of electronics will save someone from themselves, and some people should be allowed to die.

Now having the color of certain lights, aka brake lights and turn signals all be the same color is just something that manufacturers need to do for common sense sake.
