Yesterday I took the new Suburban for a test drive as I am buying a new 4WD.

Jumped in and after a look at where things were, dropped it into gear to find that all the doors automatically locked. Confused I looked at the salesman who wondered why I was surprised. In case of car jacking he said.

So the doors lock automatically, the lights come on automatically once dark. The wipers once it rains, the rear cargo door opens and closes automatically, seats adjust automatically, air con comes on and off automatically. It tells me where to go by the GPS automatically and if I have a crash it calls the police automatically. Now if I am reversing and something is in the way it stops automatically.

I was pleased that I actually get to steer the thing by myself.

So my question is, am I just getting old or is this just another way that I am forced to live my life, determined by the dumbest driver on the road again.
