Not all of the technology is bad, ignition systems are better and provide a lot hotter spark, roller cams reduce friction and improve power because they can tolerate steeper ramps, LED bulbs are brighter and use less power, automatic transmissions are way more dependable than they were in the past.
ABS and traction control are a useless nuisance, when the road is snow covered ABS actually prevents stopping- I've slid into the state road several times when my 04 or 11 Rangers' ABS activated. I hired a service advisor from our local Buick dealer who called them Anti stop brakes. Self braking cars enable "drivers" who don't pat attention.
There shouldn't be any controls in a vehicle that can't be operated in the dark by feel-that means no touch screens. Air bags are of questionable value if you seat belt is buckled and the head rest is properly adjusted and they can actually be a hazard if you aren't belted in during a crash when they go off.
Now they want to add rear seat occupant warnings to cars for negligent parents who don't remember their kid is in the car because they're on their "smart" phone and not paying attention.
Rear disc brakes are a waste, they require more maintenance to keep the slides from seizing in road salt areas and provide no benefit because when you're braking hard most of the weight is on the front wheels. Rear calipers with integral parking brakes are even worse.
