The CAN Bus will intercept things like wheel position, accelerator postition, gear, etc. and feed it to the actual implements (steering control, throttle, tranny). Yeah - you can really hose someone up by hacking into the CAN Bus. But we all like the nice power everything and we have to have our connectivity...

Power brakes and steering are nice if done well. I’m still nervous about them in the event of malfunction. Ever try to steer or brake a vehicle when the engine craps out? It’s not for the over-50 crowd.

As for other stuff, I hate power windows, have relatively little use for a radio or music player of any sort. I listen to the road, the tires, the engine. Look in front and behind for cops and idiot drivers. I putt around residential areas but the Interstate highways are fair game. Never been ticketed for doing more than 80 or so. :)
