Who needs side mirrors when you have technology?!

Now you have done it.
Our new Mazda CX-9 will not allow you to lane drift and automatically steers you back to center lane. Even with the turn signal on it will not allow you to turn into an adjacent car. Furthermore, you can't back up or drive into another car. Car detects objects and just stops itself. With the newfangled Cruise control on it is possible to drive long distances without using the brake or gas if the radar is locked onto a car in front of you. Went over 40 miles thru 20 and 25 MPH zones robotically. Only coming to a complete stop interrupts the auto-pilots. All this while everything (including Navigation instructions) are displayed thru the the windshield.
And then theres the screaming voice and red flashing warnings in your face on the windshield. The "WARNING RED LIGHT CAMERA AHEAD!!!!' is tolerable, the "WASH YOUR WINDSHIELD NOW!!!" one no so much..
Makes you wonder if napping while at the wheel is possible.
Just want usable mirrors on my AD.
