> The closest thing I've encountered is mentioned here - the tire pressure alert is way too sensitive
That one annoys me to no end. I have a Renault and a Hyundai, but have tire pressure sensors that trigger when the weather changes, if you turn to fast or just at random. The pressure sensors have so many false alarms that I no longer believe them, so they've become pointless... well an annoyance. I've asked if they can be disabled, but no. It's actually kinda dangerous, I could be going 130kph and ignore the pressure warning, because the car has trained me to assuming that the sensor is wrong.
The Hyundai have another incredibly dangerous feature, a loud "BING" when road temperatures hit 4C. So again you're going 80 - 130kph and then "BING" all your attention is drawn away from the road. I know it's cold, it's cold for 6 month of the year. You're stealing my attention at the EXACT point where you know that the road could be icy, brilliant.
My old Jeep had a similar warning (and I think my LEAF does as well, but I’m not 100%).
It’s a chime, not a klaxon. I don’t find it the least bit difficult to prioritize it correctly (any more than alerts on some rental cars suggesting me to take a break after X minutes of driving).
I also suspect it’s a net win for safety, given the overall level of clueless disconnectedness I see in steering wheel holders.
