I haven't found many that are particularly useful (although the ones on my parents' Axiom do ok), but what is missing is some basic education. I doubt half the driving population of America knows what the difference between a driving and a fog light is, and I don't think the buttons on the dashboard do much to educate people. I see VWs driving around with their driving lights on in the fog, and Jaguars driving on long empty roads with their fogs on. The most annoying side effect is cars where the front & rear foglights are the same button, so turning your BLING extra lights on simultaneously blinds the person in front and in back. It makes me very happy the Alfa has one button for each end...
The whole thing is ridiculous and dangerous, and another example of an utter failure of people to educate themselves about their cars. If you need the guy at Jiffy Lube telling you your tires are half inflated and you're 2,000 miles late for your oil change, maybe you shouldn't be operating a car.... Maybe.
