The ones I am familiar with just beep loudly with the reason why super-imposed barely legibly on the dash.

Constantly distracting, for me I'd rather pay attention to the road then look for your various pop-ups.

I am not exaggerating, anytime you'd look away from the road it would alert. There's another road there and I am looking at the traffic. Shut the fuck up.

ETA it resets with an update. Intolerable.

I am not buying a new car again, something has happened to quality and design standards in my opinion. Old man yelling at clouds.
