Boomer doesn't like mandatory safety features in newer cars
Got in a heated argument the other day with some boomer about mandatory safety features that come with newer cars eg brake assist aso.
His argument was that the boomer generation is the only one buying new cars these days and manufacturers ignore their preferences. He told me that many of his age dislike for example especially the lane assist function, because it beeps all the time. All of his peers hate it. Because, it beeps constantly. On every ride. All the time.
When I told him to think about his argument because, well, it beebs when you don't hold the lane, and only then. he got angry. He was like: you don't get it, I can't talk about this with you. What he meant was: you don't repeat my stupid opinion
He could not wrap his head around the fact that the beeping sound was an indicator that the assist obviously is needed. Because it only f'in beeps if you drift out of your lane!!!! If you hold your lane, it won't beep. That it means that he and his peers drift out of their lanes all the time.
Nope.
The problem is the mandatory feature. Because it beeps all the time. No connection made between those two factors. It beeps. It is disturbing. All the time.
I wanted to yank his keys from him right away...
