- Many 伝統的な car features 存在 取って代わるd with smart tech to '改善する' the 運動ing experience
- Cameras instead of mirrors, childish 'fun' いたずら settings and 水晶 headlights some of the 最新の features
- 高級な 新規加入s can 追加する thousands の上に the cost of already expensive cars - but does anyone want them??
There's no 否定するing car 科学（工学）技術 改良s can be a serious help and safety 加える point. For example, for many drivers, 後部-見解（をとる） cameras are a necessity these days.
But there's also a number of smart features that are 完全に pointless, and in some 事例／患者s just plain irritating.
Here's our 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる） of the new car tech that arguably we really don't need.
Cameras instead of 味方する mirrors are starting to become 流布している - but that's not やむを得ず a good thing
1. Cameras instead of wing mirrors
Blind 位置／汚点／見つけ出す 補助装置 is a 広大な／多数の／重要な 発明 - an 警報 (usually …を伴ってd by a 警告 noise) pops up in your wing mirror to let you know that there's another 乗り物 at your 後部 ４半期/4分の1.
But now 正規の／正選手 old 味方する mirrors are 存在 取って代わるs altogether with cameras.
The Audi Sportback Q8 e-tron was one of the first to introduce this, followed by the Honda e and Hyundai Ioniq 5 with other electric cars such as Lotus Eletre に引き続いて 控訴.
The 味方する mirrors or wing mirrors are now 事実上の 審査するs 位置を示すd above the door 扱うs inside the car.
同様に as a futuristic look, touted advantages for new electric 乗り物s (EVs) 含む 減ずるd 勝利，勝つd noise and 改善するd aerodynamics - and in turn efficiency and 範囲. 製造業者s also say that the wider angles 供給するd by cameras 減ずる blind 位置／汚点／見つけ出すs.
The Audi? Sportback Q8 e-tron was one of the first cars to have cameras instead of 味方する mirrors which are supposed to look futuristic 同様に as 改善する aerodynamics on EVs
In reality, advantages fade すぐに and are 取って代わるd with hassle and distraction.
Remembering to look at an unintuitively positioned camera is not something anyone does 自然に and you may 結局最後にはーなる not checking them nearly as much you would normal wing mirrors.
And if you do remember to ちらりと見ること over at the far camera, when the 前線 乗客 is leaning across to fiddle with the infotainment, they've 封鎖するd your line of sight anyway.
Then there's the glare, unreliability and poor image 質, 同様に as the 問題／発行するs they 原因（となる） for drivers with 限られた／立憲的な 注目する，もくろむ-sight.
Stick to 味方する mirrors, and we'll 没収される the 3.8 per cent aero efficiency Honda （人命などを）奪う，主張するs the cameras 改善する, 特に after the 最新の 論争 with distracting infotainment systems.
The Audi Q8 Sportback e-tron starts from £73,410 and mirrors are a 基準 part of the car's design.

2. 事実上の rearview mirrors
後部 見解（をとる） mirrors were first introduced in 1914, having been invented by Dorothy Levitt in 1909. So, we've been using it without 問題／発行する for 120 years.
But now 事実上の rearview mirrors are popping up. Two new cars with 事実上の rearview mirrors are the Nissan Ariya EV and the Polestar 4.
Nissan says its intelligent rearview mirror ? 利用できる on some 見解／翻訳／版s of the Ariya - 供給するs 'a （疑いを）晴らす 見解（をとる） from a camera 位置を示すd on the 後部 of the 乗り物'.
On the Ariya you can manually switch between the 従来の 後部 見解（をとる） mirror 方式 and intelligent rearview mirror 方式.
That's all 井戸／弁護士席 and good until the camera gets dirty, meaning the intelligent mirror 'may not 陳列する，発揮する 反対するs 明確に' and you're advised to use the washer and then switch 支援する to 従来の 方式.
The Polestar 4 controversially doesn't have a 後部 window ? so the 数字表示式の rearview mirror is all you've got. Polestar says that 伝統的に the 後部 内部の gets in the way of what you see through the rearview mirror, （人命などを）奪う，主張するing this 数字表示式の rearview mirror 供給するs better sight.
We aren't 納得させるd.?
Exact cost is undetermined but the Polestar 4 costs from £59,990 ? where the 数字表示式の rearview mirror is a 基準 feature on all 削減するs.
On the Nissan Ariya the intelligent rearview mirror is only 利用できる on the most expensive 削減する ? the 発展させる - which costs from £47,140. The 中央の-level 前進する 削減する doesn't have this 選択 and costs from £43,145.
BMW have hyped up the new AirConsole in the BMW i5 EV but it's one too many games console gimmicks for us
3. BMW Airconsole
The BMW i5 (the electric 5 Series) introduced a 'unique 肉親，親類d of in-car game to the road for the first time'.
Essentially, BMW partnered with gaming 壇・綱領・公約 AirConsole to bring an 完全に unneeded 退屈 zapping 装置 ? an infotainment 審査する that can 二塁打 as a games player.
When the car's 静止している, driver and 乗客s can pass the time (while its 非難する) by linking their phones as 監査役s to the BMW Curved 陳列する，発揮する 審査する and play any number of 'fun' games.?
Racing, quizzes, 'Go Kart Go' ? there are 15 games to choose from that BMW says are 'casual games […] 平易な to 選ぶ up and play and intuitive to 支配（する）／統制する'.
Considering the alarming 量 of time people, 特に kids, already spend looking at 審査するs, an onboard play 駅／配置する seems pretty unnecessary.
And if you thought getting your offspring to stop playing Fortnite at home is difficult, try getting them to switch off the games console in the car so you can 再開する your 旅行.?
The BMW i5 starts from £66,790 and all new 5 series owners will get the AirConsole service for 解放する／自由な for the first year. After that there's 推定する／予想するd to be a 月毎の charge.
Tesla Toy Box has a multitude of 'fun' features 含むing the famous whoopee cushion fart noise, gaming 選択s, and 火星 機能（する）／行事. But how much do these features cost and are they 価値（がある） it?
4. Tesla Toy Box
Tesla has plenty of gimmicky features that have become almost as famous as Elon Musk himself.
The whoopee cushion subtly called '放出／発行s 実験（する）ing 方式' is funny for two minutes, tricking people into thinking they've farting in public ? a classic いたずら. You can direct the fart noise to the seat of choice.
Other Toy Box 'fun' things 含む a Boombox that you makes amusing noises for passing 歩行者s (when 静止している) and the '火星' 機能（する）／行事 in the Model Y.
The 地図／計画する can show your car as a rover on the Martian landscape?and the 'About your Tesla' box 陳列する，発揮するs SpaceX's interplanetary spaceship.
If you really care to you can even 改名する your 乗り物 to 42 ? 'the answer to the ultimate question of life, the Universe and everything'.
Call us killjoys but we'd rather features that aren't redundant to the 運動ing experience as you don't buy a car to just sit parked in it.
The new Tesla Model 3 starts from £39,990 and the Y from £44,990 - both come with the Toy Box ソフトウェア.
5. BMW i7 Swarovski headlights
If you buy a 高級な 乗り物, you want it all. Rolls-Royce's 悪名高い £44,000 シャンペン酒 Chest comes to mind.
高級な on the inside makes sense, but exterior 高級な can いつかs seem 完全に pointless, like the Swarovski headlights on the new BMW i7.
Called 'BMW 水晶 Headlights Iconic Glow' it's said to show 'how 遺産 知らせるs the 未来 of design' and bring '前例のない light' to the road.
Two pairs of 水晶 are 位置を示すd in the inner スポットライト of each headlight and form part of the welcoming light show the driver gets as they walk up to the car.
They might be radiant, but do they 現実に 改善する visibility?
The BMW i7 starts from £100,860 and the Swarovski headlights are part of that 高級な price tag.?
Puddle lights like these from Audi do little more than remind you what car brand you own. And 明らかに jog your memory about which football team you support - let's just hope it's Bayen
6. Puddle lights
While on the light 主題, there's a growing 傾向 for cars across all 予算s to have puddle lights.
Puddle lights are ? as the 指名する 示唆するs ? lights that beam の上に the 床に打ち倒す around.
These can be really helpful when you 打ち明ける your car in a dark indoor car park, or to help you 避ける uneven surfaces getting in and out of your car in the dark.
But puddle lights just for aesthetic 推論する／理由s that beam your car brand の上に the 床に打ち倒す only if you open the door are a bit of a redundant ego 上げる.
Puddle light costs 変化させる from brand to brand but usually these will be part of a 一括 or only 利用できる on more expensive 削減するs.
Audi is one of a few brands that's starting using 'dynamic turn 指示する人（物）s' on new models like this A3. The 指示する人（物）s move the light across in a 広範囲にわたる 動議 that mimics the direction you're turning?
7. Dynamic 広範囲にわたる 指示する人（物） lights
You have two turning 選択s when you 運動: 権利 or left. You move the steering wheel stalk, the 指示する人（物） light comes on, you turn ? it's that simple.
No, not anymore, because someone decided we need directional 指示する人（物） lights.
These 指示する人（物）s grew popular with Audi and Volkswagen a few years ago - おもに thanks to the new Audi Q5 - and beam the 示すing light from 権利 to left or left to 権利 対応して to the direction you're 示すing.
It looks like a wave movement of light.?
In reality, it doesn't 改善する the attention grabbing-ness of the 指示する人（物） at all or help other drivers see which direction you're 示すing, if anything it makes it more 混乱させるing.
The Audi Q5 starts from £48,885 and the 科学（工学）技術 Pack with 'Matrix LED headlights with dynamic 前線 and 後部 指示する人（物）s, and headlight きれいにする system' costs £1,895.
New tech features we do 認可する of?
1. 長，率いる-up 陳列する，発揮する
長，率いる-up 陳列する，発揮する 事業／計画（する）s 決定的な （警察などへの）密告，告訴（状） the driver needs into their line of sight so they can look up instead of taking their 注目する，もくろむs off the road and getting distracted looking 負かす／撃墜する at 計器s.
This safety feature is very popular because drivers really do spend いっそう少なく time taking their 注目する，もくろむs off the road and they can choose which （警察などへの）密告，告訴（状） they want to beam 直接／まっすぐに into their eyeline.?
2.? Heated steering wheel and seats
わずかに 連合させるing two-in-one here, but having a heated steering wheel and seats makes winter 運動ing so much more enjoyable.?
And it means you don't have to have the heating on all the time, helping to keep costs 負かす／撃墜する and 保存する 範囲 if you have an electric car.?
3. Remote parking
This feature is becoming more たびたび（訪れる） on new cars, and is very useful if you've parked in a tight 位置／汚点／見つけ出す.
It 許すs you to remotely (either 経由で an app or by using the 重要な) 召喚する your car to move out of a parking space and に向かって you at a slow pace.?
Remote parking often lets you get out of your car and leave it to park itself too.
It's 特に handy when you're parking in a （人が）群がるd multi-storey carpark with large 中心存在s.?
