BMW Z4 to Debut in Paris

DSC, DTC, ASC, SSG, ABS - what's happened to driver control?

All these driver aids are fine, as long as they're defeatable (and preferably optional). The car companies are going to develop this stuff for their boring models anyway, so the additional cost for the sports models shouldn't be too high... Delete! Delete! Delete!

I blame America's litigiousness for the proliferation of driver's acronyms. But I can't say that when I'm drunk...

Try it three times really fast

Does it actually need a driver at all ? If not presumably the owners can carry on hairdressing while in transit
