Whenever I get into a modern hire car the first thing I do after starting it is turn all the 'safety' features off. They either don't work well, are annoying, or both. Sometimes they're downright dangerous. It was a large part of the reason I chose to buy a slightly older vehicle when I needed to change my car. The later models all had the annoying stuff.
