I thought this item, from a recent Consumer Reports article on
advanced "driving help" from car electronics takes the award for "Not
Well Thought Out Idea".  What do y'all think?

   Several luxury cars offer a brake-assist feature. If the system
   detects that you're trying to make an emergency stop, it will
   help ensure the effectiveness of the antilock brake system by
   automatically fully depressing the brake pedal for you. Without
   it, many people feel the ABS-induced vibration of the brake
   pedal and let up, defeating the effectiveness of ABS.
