It is true. My car has all the bells and whistles. More then once...at the same time, I have yet to figure most of it out. But, it's like you have to make up your one to pull over to text. (The car will read incoming ones!) or change cds.

I currently lease a 2017 Ford Explorer with all the bells and whistles, and it took some time to learn to IGNORE the touchscreens that are right in front of me while I drive.

I am waiting for the model, that will one catch a bit of shut eye at stop lights. Now, that would be a bonus, as life just seems to get more hectic each day! Almost so crazy at times!
