Top 5 Most Useless Car Features

Cars are quite common, but it has some useless features people barely use. Online pokies for real money have curated five of them in this article.

5. Motorized Seat Belts

Good grief. How lazy have people gotten when they need to have their seat belt buckled electronically for them? While motorized seat belts were considered a cool feature in the early 1980s when first introduced, people quickly realized that they were ridiculously slow and cumbersome. Today, motorized seat belts are often featured in comedy movies as a sight gag where a person in a hurry has to sit and wait for their motorized seat belt to slowly crawl across their body and lock in place before they can take off in their car. Drivers and car manufacturers quickly realized that it is a lot faster for people to just pull their seat belts out and fasten them in place themselves. Plus, many motorized seat belts were prone to glitches that made it impossible for them to even fasten in place.

4. Dynamic Steering

The concept of dynamic steering seems dangerous to us. A popular feature in BMWs, it allows drivers to adjust the tension on the steering wheel—making it harder to steer in the “sport” mode and easier to steer in the “comfort” mode. Just as you can adjust the feeling of steering a car on some video games, you can do the same in real life with dynamic steering. But is this really safe? On some cars, the dynamic steering setting also changes as you drive forcing the driver to make adjustments as they’re operating the vehicle. Again, is this a safety concern? Wouldn’t it be best to just provide people with one steering setting that is somewhere in the middle? This feature just opens up so many questions. Starting with “Why?”

3. Automatic Car Doors

Automatic trunks—great. Automatic car doors—completely useless. An automatic tailgate or trunk is fantastic for when you have your hands full. Why didn’t someone think of that innovation sooner? It’s so convenient. But driver and passenger car doors that open automatically represent the height of human laziness. An innovation that is so unnecessary it is almost embarrassing. That people no longer feel they should use the door handle to open the car door themselves is a sad commentary on our society. That a car owner would pay additional money for this feature is even sadder. Again, just because you can do it doesn’t mean you should. Automatic doors should not exist, just like some games from USA casinos online.

2. Sunroofs

It’s not that we hate sunroofs. They’re a nice enough feature, we suppose. It’s just that they’re not necessary. Sunroofs are for people who can’t afford a convertible. They’re like a half measure. And when the sun is shining and it’s warm outside, wouldn’t you just as soon roll down the windows to let the sun and wind in the car? Do you really need the sun beating down on top of you? Plus, many sunroofs are known for letting in cold air in the winter and leaking water when it rains outside. If you want a convertible, go ahead and buy one. Buy it second-hand if need be. But sunroofs really serve no purpose. They certainly aren’t worth shelling out hundreds of extra dollars for—especially if you live in a cold, northern climate and will only get to use the sunroof for a few months each year.

1. Economically Driving Warning Light

You never want to see any light on your dashboard come on. But if something does light up on your dash, you at least want it to be important and meaningful. This is not the case with the “eco” light as it is known. This is a light that comes on the dash to tell people they are not driving economically enough and might be wasting gas. Thanks, dashboard. Thanks a lot. I’ll file that away with all the other useless information I received today. This feature was added to pacify the environmental lobby and give the impression that automakers were doing all they could to help make the world a little greener. What they did end up doing was piss people off with a feature that is little more than political posturing and has no real impact on how the car is performing or the safety of the vehicle. Waste of time.
