Nothing to do with Apple, but I recently bought an old car. It has a radio. Whenever I turn on the engine, it switches on. Actually, no, it doesn't switch on, because I found that behaviour so annoying that I just unplugged the whole thing from the power. It's a fancy sat-nav touchscreen radio that can show a reversing camera, has loads of settings menus, but doesn't have an option to stop it being stupid. What gives? Who in the industry thought that this was what people really wanted?
