Good lord!

Cars should learn not to sputter to a halt on the highway!

... seriously, they should! I don't appreciate it when Damn Handsome Dan Hansen and I are driving to the Starbucks his girlfriend works at so we can score some free coffee, and suddenly the car says "Nope! You're gonna want to go down that next exit, but not before crawling over the the shoulder to recuperate every time you eke forward a quarter mile. Then you're gonna wanna sit in the parking lot of a produce store for an hour and a half, waiting for a tow truck and playing backgammon, ultimately deciding that it's not worth the wait, and drive back to Iona, most of the time in neutral. Then, you're gonna want to let Ed out, and Dan can eke and pause his way home. That's how it's gonna work kids."

Friggin' talking cars.
