    So you think it’s smarter to wear a seatbelt, you wear yours but are somehow annoyed that it might ding at someone else for something you yourself think is unsafe and wouldn’t do?

    Yes. Or for my backpack thats in the backseat and sitting just right to trigger the sensor.

    The backseat warning is so kids don’t get left in the back as easily and neglectful parents have an extra step to ignore which plays against them in court. Are you somehow for some reason for children playing pizza oven because their parents neglected them?

    Don’t misconstrue my words to say I’m for roasting kids. But I am against the constant alerts without any means to turn them off.

    I’m just curious, are you also against it being illegal for fridge doors to be produced with a latch that only operates from outside the fridge?

    That’s a ridiculous false equivalency. The things I’m against are annoyances, not trapping people in cars.

    Cars make noises for fucking everything now. I’m not against rear view cameras on the surface. But mandating things like that also mean mandating a screen in the car, usually the infotainment system. And I prefer cars without screens.

    Any single thing, I’m not particularly against. But it’s been a cumulative effect where there are too many things where I can’t make a decision on how an object I bought and own behaves.

    It’s shit like not letting me, as a passenger, use half the damn infotainment because the vehicle is in motion.
