Comfort and Convenience
Power folding mirrors pivot the housings inward electrically, narrowing the car for tight parking bays and passing traffic. They protect the glass and casing, but they do not alter the mirror angle a driver has set.
Safety and Driver Assistance
An anti-lock braking system releases and reapplies pressure at individual wheels many times per second during hard braking. A watchful driver can judge when to brake; no foot can modulate that quickly to keep a wheel rotating.
Multimedia and Connectivity
CarPlay does not stream audio alone. The connected iPhone sends a video image of a simplified interface to the display, while touch and voice inputs travel back to the phone, which runs the apps.
