Most Annoying Car Ever Safety Features are dangerous & distracting

I have access to 4 identical 2024 CRV.and have driven every CRV model since 2012
I cover thousands of miles each year in these cars.
I'ill start with the good point about about years model, Finally, Honda have improved the drivers seat
for people over 6 foot tall
That's it...
Everything else is bad, very bad
So called EU sanctioned safety "convienance" features are a NIGHTMARE, & dangerous.
You can turn them off but every time the engine is switched off , they reset and will come back on
when engine restarted, so you have to switch them off again
Lane centring has a mind of its own and will randomely go & off even though it is turned OFF
It causes the car to drive towards the centre line, straight into on coming cars that might over the line
to avoid parked cars....brilliant EU idea.....
It pulls you back to left if you pull out to avoid pot holes, or cars suddenly coming out of parking spaces
situations were you don't always have time to signal
It always causes fatique and arm strain as you have to hold the the steering wheel far more firmly than
ususal as to fight the steering wheel as it does pull strongly. This happens in all 4 CRVs
Brakes being applied by the car and stopping the car suddenly...FOR NO REASON
Bonging noise, which hurts my ears, every time you go 1 mile an hour over speed limit
Cameras in mirrors (WHY!!!) which show left hand side of car when turning left on main screen
you use for Sat Nav, blocking your view of sat nav....symbols flashing in mirror glass...
the list goes on.....the car distracts, annoys and is dangerous on every level, as I 'm sure all new
2024 cars are as they all have this EU control freak equipment as standard
EVERYBODY MUST COMPLAIN & SUE these companies (&EU) that have put us into serious danger
On top of this the 2024 CRV has a "bouncy, twitchy" ride (unlike 2020 CRV which had excellent suspenison & handling) and cheap build quality, ie roof rails have black paint finish which looks like
someone painted it with hammerite as it has poor "orange peel" finish
All in all this car is not a pleasure to live with and I have spent many hours in them
ALSO faults now appearing after few thousand miles with handbrake not releasing and power steering
(surpise surprise)
