Really? Again, which makes? I've not had that on any car. But my cars
are never new. ;-)

Not known the wipers to be on a totaly unswitched feed. "Accessory"
position of a traditional ignition key on the other hand. As in
"Off", "Accessory", "Run" and "Start".

Quite. But there will always be makers who think they know better.

Well in the electronic age they have a new toy to play with and gadgetry
seems to be the new L GL GLS badge.


I'm happy with gadgets. But not when they do something that looks like it
could be dangerous to me.


Self parking wipers cause you sleepless nights?


Self parking wipers have been around as long as I have. Wipers that aren't
actually isolated by the ignition switch (even in software) simply stupid.
If you understand the difference.
