It has long been my pet peeve that cars don’t let you know when a headlight or brake light is out. It seems crazy that the car flashes my miles per gallon but fails to alert me when I am driving in the dark.
How refreshing it was to drive a loaner car and see that Acura has rectified that — at least on their newer models. On the spaceship-like dashboard is an icon of the car that lights up when the headlights, turn signals, or brake lights are applied. Hurrah! Hopefully, all cars will follow their lead.
Don’t spend so much time adding bells and whistles to things that you forget about the fundamentals. Sometimes the simple things excel in functionality.
