I almost fried an engine because my temp gauge and coolant warnings were shot. My van has idiot lights for about forty different things. I don't mind the extra information.
A big van has a lot of blind spots. I watch mirrors constantly, but the backup camera is nice (it's low down and could spot a tennis ball behind me). I wouldn't mind proximity sensors because I can't directly see either my nose or my tail.
None of this equipment stops me from looking at the tires myself, checking the driveway for leaks, and making sure the neighbor's cat isn't hiding under the car before I back out.
Most city drivers would probably sell their mothers for a reliable automated parallel parking system.

I'll take all the help I can get.
