I would hope the sort of car with auto lights also comes with handsfree phone stuff these days lol. So theres not really an excuse to be on the phone. IMO eating should be illegal in cars, as should smoking or fiddling with the stereo...
Tbf, I'm all for this sort of thing though, even things as minor as steering wheel stereo controls or one touch windows make a huge difference to the concentration and control you have when operating them. Auto wipers are awesome, with non auto when a lorry passes and sends a tidal wave across the screen it takes several seconds for you to find the stalk and wipe it, the auto clears it immediately. Auto lights mean you never forget to put them on, if you suddenly hit a patch of dull torrential rain at 70 the lights come on for your and others safety.
Oh and emergeny brake assist is good for emergencies as well, I don't know how it adds so much force but a deer jumped out at me at 60 a couple of weeks back, hit the brakes and I've never felt such brakeforce, despite the small brakes!
