X-Ray Back-up Parking Assist

Tech is my life. But tech, for the sake of tech can get silly and strange. I rented a Chrysler 200 (2015 model as it turned out) for long road trip. It took almost 200 miles to figure out what everything was, and I like buttons and screens.

The car was like a game console on wheels.  For all the necessary (questionable)  functions - constant updates on fuel efficiency, media choices displayed in two different places and stored messages on the drivers console  display (shopping list? directions? poetry?) it did not do some very important things.

I was extremely disappointed that the car could not tell me my height and weight. It did not tell me my altitude, the barometric pressure, when the sun would set or my shoe size. It did not warn me when my daughter was about to play some annoying video from the back seat at full blast on her phone . Most importantly it did not measure the attitude of my passengers.

In an age where a car can warn you when you are about to nod-off while driving, how hard can it be to warn the driver when the passengers are getting fidgety or someones' blood pressure is going up?

A car is a tool, technology is a tool. A Swiss army knife is an example of well integrated tools. A screwrenchammerdriver - not so much.
