## Narrative
The emergency rear collision detection system is able to be turned off, but automatically turns on when the car starts.   There are situations where the car detects an object and it prevents me from reversing. I disabled this because I use my eyes and have accepted the risk of running into something.   I had to move in a hurry two days ago, I tried to reverse out of the way, but the car prevented this when I thought I had already shut it off. Meanwhile I'm getting screamed at to move while I fumble through menus just so I can drive the car I bought.   This is dangerous to have automatically on everytime the car starts.
