I'm a big fan of Nissan (obvious) but even I get a bit squeamish when it comes to the "nanny-ism" that is creeping into future auto designs. From incessant beeping when you don't buckle your seatbelt, to cars that will apply the brakes when IT thinks you are entering a dangerous situation, to WOT restrictions and now to...aerosol vitamins?Yes, now Nissan is in the process of implementing a HVAC system for its vehicles that will provide you with your daily dose of Vitamin C by blowing a breathable version into your face. Now is it just me or are we continuing to go down an unnecessary path? I want my car designers to focus on making my cars more fun to drive, more reliable, less expensive, safer, better looking, etc., etc.
I'm sure that they would argue that they are fully capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time--that's not the point. I'm sure they have the ability to design new cars and useful auto applications while at the same time wasting resources on efforts like this, I just want them to STOP wasting resources (time, money, brainpower) on unneeded, unwanted rabbit-hole things like this and use them to move forward on items that do present an everyday concern to consumers. Is that so wrong?
