I continue to be amazed at this car's understanding of what is happening and taking responsive action.  For instance, standing upright the windshield wipers.  You physically can't put them back down in the parked position, so you let them rest where they will.  You turn on the wipers and magically, the passenger side sweeps itself out of the way and then the regular dual wiping action begins.

Or, the pressure relief system in the gasoline tank lines.

And don't get me going on the safety/collision avoidance programs that can overwork in traffic circles/roundabouts in tight traffic.

What discoveries have you made?  What overkill have you growled at?
Cheers,
