Too Simple To Figure Out Dept...!?!
The more smart or automatic an appliance becomes the more time and money you'll spend trying to make it work. Net result: You lose time and you lose a ton of money. Great for technician's income...

I understand this discussion completely.
Our 2002 sedan is in the shop, so they've provided a 2018 version of it to me as a loaner.
Boy .... to fully utilize all of it's "features" would (to me) be like flying an airliner. It has all kinds of frivolous gizmos to appeal to a certain esoteric group of folks, very few of which are really necessary for use of this loaner vehicle as a means of transportation.
The main thing that runs through my old-engineering-school mind is "good luck with all that stuff still working year after year if one should want to keep this vehicle for several years". But I guess that's not a concern with today's "almost disposable" automobile ownership mentality. :S
