If you’ve bought a new car lately, you should already have noticed how so many functions of driving have been automated out of our hands...and minds!
Driving has been our last actual function of freedom/liberty, etc. No coincidences in politics, and that our personal/individual cars, trucks, etc. are already all but gone.
Semper WTF!

My invention developed after I noticed sharp pain in right hip area from frequent driving
1 use neutral all the time at stops in traffic etc
Don’t ever push on Brake with car in gear at a stop
2 use gears to downshift. Even in automatics. Saving brakes
3. Cruise control. Use whenever possible on highways where flat
4. Drive very slowly but not annoyingly. Always cede to mr and mrs “ in a hurries “. ( most drivers )
Only pay attention to what’s in front of you for most part
The idea is minimize stress on body and use cars attributes to make as close to self driving as possible
Also minimizes wear and tear on automobile and saves gas
The neutral thing was a complete revolution for me since I spend a lot of time in SF bay traffic
I just take feet off petals and shuttle back and forth between N and D on the “prindl”
Hope this aids you folks who have to drive a lot
Cheers.
I hate that I’ve got a 2011 Sonata. Battery is dead in garage, fine. But can I get the car out of garage ? No.
Cannot shift into neutral without power. So I cannot push it out. Cannot jump it to another vehicle in the garage.
Safety police rule the day. Need brake pressure interlock to sense and let me shift. That’s electric.
Forced to replace battery in the exact position it died in. Cannot charge either. Under charge it goes up to 8 volts, floats down to 4 volts.
