If you think this is improbable then you may not comprehend the inevitable. As in one things leads inevitably to the next thing.

All new vehicles have several iterations of "assistance technology," as this electronic nannying is styled, so as to make it sound like something other than the nannying it is. Assistance, after all, implies having asked for it or needing it. As in the assisting a handicapped person. It is enormously insulting to push "assistance" on people who are not handicapped. It is odd indeed that more people who aren't handicapped are not (apparently) insulted.

"Technology" is a word chosen because it vaguely implies some advanced and better way of doing things . Who could possibly be opposed to "technology"? The implication is the person is a troglodyte of some kind; the kind of person who is suspicious of hot and cold running water and indoor plumbing.

This is part of the how they've gotten most people to just sigh and put up with being "assisted" by "technology." The why is or ought to be obvious. Piece-by-piece and bit-by-bit they are acclimating people to being completely controlled by their vehicles. All of it in the interests of saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaafety, of course.

Or so people are told.

More accurately, so people are gas-lit. It being much easier to shut up their objections by implying that any who object are questioning safety measures and so implicitly in favor of dangerous things. If people do not begin to do more than just question these things, they can expect – very soon – to have to endure such things as Rain Assistance Technology. The technology already exists. It needs only to be synced and elaborated.

Most late-model cars have or are available with rain-sensing wipers. The car knows when rain is falling and automatically turns on the windshield wipers. All cars made for at least the past decade have electronically controlled throttles, meaning that you are not pushing down on a gas pedal that is physically connected – via a cable – to the engine's throttle. In other words, a throttle controlled directly by you. Instead, all new cars have accelerator pedals – the difference in terms matters – that connect to nothing at all. When you depress the accelerator pedal, the deflection is measured by sensors that transmit data to the computer that controls the engine's throttle.

Ponder this a moment.
