Sunroof

The popularity of sunroofs is on the rise, but this feature is not as practical in India. Sunroofs were originally designed for experiencing outdoor weather, such as in Europe, where sunshine is more prevalent. Sunroofs are less useful in India and moreover, they are often misused in our country to create chaos and perform dangerous activities. 

Automatic Headlamps 

Automatic headlamps are a common feature in luxury cars. They include a light sensor that turns on the headlights when darkness is detected. Though this feature is convenient, manually controlling the headlights is also not a very tough task and can help you save money.

Automatic wipers, also known as rain-sensing wipers, can detect water on the windshield and start working accordingly. However, like automatic headlamps, some may consider this feature overrated as the task can be performed manually.

Gesture control features work by just the movement of your hands to control functions in your car. It has been incorporated into cars with the aim that drivers will no longer have to look away from the road. However, gesture control features in cars have the potential to distract the driver.
