Oh yes I hate those sensors because all electronic components fail eventually. All those sensors are the result of leftist governments installing MPG minimums. I miss my 1977 Malibu. It was the perfect car with minimum intrusion by multitude sensors.

actually, many of the sensors are for convenience, like “keyless” locking/unlocking, and push-button starting, which i’m so use to that having to use a key to lock/unlock and start the older car has become VERY annoying ...

i do find the backup camera a handy feature, though i’m still getting use to it, and the forward camera can help with avoiding collisions for drivers who are poorly attentive ... but what i REALLY appreciate are the side-warnings in multi-lane driving when needing to switch lanes, esp. at high speeds ... in the honda, those warnings aren’t turned on unless the turn signal is being used, so only warn when a lane change is being signaled AND a car is in the other lane ... OTOH, i’ve pretty much disabled all the other assists, esp. the ones that attempt to detect failure to remain in the current lane ....
