Well, if it's mandatory on new cars, then kind of everybody knows its there, and then there's the fun of not realizing it's not there on older cars. While it's optional, it might be nice if they had a notice on the dash that it's enabled.

On the seatbelt locking, I learned the why when installing car seats, which seems reasonable, because that's what it's for.



They do have a dash notice on the brake engaging. And cars come with a giant book that almost certainly covers it.

And these same concerns apply to antilock brakes, no? Getting used to the way those feel took time for folks that were there before.
