I've been very amused by the news this week that drivers of keyless locking cars are being advised to use a full cover steering lock. As series drivers we all know about steering locks but it set me wondering what other peices of old tech will come back? Advice to hold and turn the steering wheel in sefl-driving cars? Read the dipstick on "intelligent connected.." cars? Check tyre pressures using a gauge or looking at them before setting off?

This is a fantastic leap forward, er, I mean backward. Motor manufactures have saved motorists a valuable couple of seconds by introducing keyless cars and now they have to fit a bloody great lump of metal to their steering wheel. I'd rather have the car nicked than fluck about with that every day.

Just wait for "network enabled" "wifi-friendly" "designer" steering locks that are "just right for your new car"..... "check your steering lock from wherever you are...."
I hope not but fear the worst.
Mercedes will do an own branded one for 3 times the price that "talks to your car" (and issue a safety notice about the dangers of "non-approved steering locks")

And nobody actually wanted any of this crap in the first place. The manufacturers have thrust it upon consumers to try and get one up on their rivals.
