My current car is old. I had a lot of repairs done on it recently. If I get a new car, I don’t want features. Lane assist, backup camera, DUI Camera, telemetry, auto breaking or other frankly silly features. Call me grumpy, but I find modern cars very distracting.

Can I ask a dealership to disable these at purchase? Is there a car that works best for being private besides just older cars?

I drive very little in a year. No, I can’t ride a bike.

    I get that your not into the idea of biking. For the sake of the environment I want to mention that I live at the top of a hill where the first soap box derby tournament was held. If you’ve ever seen one of those, it’s a pretty steep hill they race down. My ebike goes up it with no problems other than from cars on the road. I don’t even have to pedal, I just push a little lever and up it goes. This city is 5th highest in murder rate in the U.S. and auto thefts are just as bad but a good lock and smart parking helps. Oh and I have all the balance of a newborn kitten on a pile of fresh laundry.
