    Yeah Chevy got rid of the start button on the 2027 and it turns on* when you close the door. Its one of the common complaints I read about on the subreddit. It would annoy me as sometimes I dont need the car on and automatic things annoy me

      Technological devices making assumptions always seems to be grating, and can even be disastrous. I’m not against automation at all, but it is important automate things only when the automated tasks are certain to be appropriate, rather than guessing, as in this example of the car automatically starting when you get in, when sometimes you dont want that.
