This video is literally things I live without
I don't even have a radio.
I don't even have a car :D
Except for steering wheel volume you probably have that.
Dude same
@@silasmayes7954 Nope don't even have that
Car technologies I can't live without:
-Brakes
-Internal combustion
-Steering wheel
-Fuel
Me too honestly
Me three
Manual Transmission
So you dont need wheels, damn
Same
When I was a Taxi Driver, the volume on my steering wheel was a blessing from god. Girls would get in and bang your radio up to full blast, and I would just gradually sneak the volume down on my steering wheel, they never noticed, but it kept me from going deaf.
lmao.
I try to do this when I'm driving my brother around but whenever I change the volume it shows a huge notification on the center screen
bitch
Have you tried banging them instead? It works well on Fake Taxis.
I did the opposite, on long drive when I forgot to put the radio up while picking up client and they didn't talk to me, I gradually augmented the radio volume to at least have the compagny of the music !
All I demand is an aux jack.
same so i im guessing you dont have a new iphone
I miss this kinda people
2002 called, they want their aux jack back.
Harvey Plays heard of an adaptor ?
Ahum.. Bluetooth..?
“Ten reasons why I would never buy a new car”
Hmm time has changed ...
Criminals also can't live without keyless start
lmao true
Wont u nee the key to be near the car for it to move
scansitary you can use a device to use the same signal from the key and steal it
Linton not all cars have pins, although that is good on Tesla's half for the security pin
The Fountain Pen Desk yeah but that’s quite high tech to steal a car, like if your driving luxury sure but if your driving a $30,000 most criminals won’t bother using the device.
I like twisting a key more than pushing a button tho
Me too
Overall modern cars do everything to make it simpler, but some of these things arent cool to me
I miss having a actual key tbh
"I miss the good old days, wahh wahh" People in this comment section love to flex their nostalgia like they're some kind of elite force. We all love old cars.. Doesn't mean we can't love the luxuries of a modern daily driver. As the saying goes, "there's no point in crying over spilt milk". Embrace the change rather than crying over it. You may as well make it easier on yourself.
Thank god I'm not the only one!
Then just order it with a key, like my parents did with their Porsche's
10 things we miss about old cars - keys, regular old keys
10 modern car technologies I can't live without - keyless entry
let that sink in for a second
Hondas are not bad, people who rice them are It's pretty understandable..
I get in my 20vt Mk2 Golf, turn the key. Engine starts. Pretty satisfying.
I come out of the supermarket with bags in my hand, open the door.. ahh fuck, this isn't my daily driver. Forgot I don't have keyless entry.
I just like the irony of him doing both videos and including complete opposites, in the video where he talked of things we miss about old cars, he said that these "card" keys, which granted you keyless access suck, now he says he loves them
Hondas are not bad, people who rice them are That's not what he meant.. That video was directed at car enthusiasts, saying "as car enthusiasts, this is something that we miss", it wasn't for him personally although the car enthusiast side of him most likely finds a key satisfying. But this video, is aimed at the daily drivers who use a more modern car for their commutes. The daily driver side of him that just wants a simple commute loves the merits of keyless entry.. You can like both under different circumstances and not be a hypocrite. Why is that so hard for you to understand?
I get keyless entry, but it has to be done in the correct reassuring way: with a little button on the door handle you have to push to lock or unlock and only works when the key is within half a meter of that door handle.
In a lot of cars the doors just unlock by themselves when you walk past, and even worse were the first Renault and Mercedes with the card that unlocked themselves when you got close but then stayed unlocked when you walk away because you needed to push a button to lock them again.
Just having a remote just feels safer to me, and when you have a car you love it's so cool that it blinks at you when you lock it while having a "last look" walking away. That blink tells me "It's okay, I already miss you too, I'm all locked up and safe, enjoy whatever you'll be doing now, we'll have more fun later and I'll welcome you with more blinks".
Keyless cars don't do that, you just walk away, no response when you give a last glance, no buttons to push and no blinks when you get back in, feels like just an assembly of materials doing its job.
The thing than opens the hatch when you swing your leg is really handy though. It's like "Can't you see my hands are full? Help me out here," and the car actually does it.
Keyless start is bullshit though, you've already put everything away, your hands should both be free to drive and driving with stuff in your pockets is uncomfortable anyways, is it really that hard to get your key, put it in the ignition, and have a twist?
Exactly! Them two videos should be listed under the definition for 'hypocrite' in the Oxford dictionary.
2:25 "I know instinctly where the volume button is" *looks down on steering wheel* ahahahaah
He doesn't own that car

@@santtusavola it is Ethan's car
Gotta love how so many stupid people think this is an ad. The Kodiaq is Ethan's new car. With your logic every single car or product video or review without censored badges would "paid sellout content"...
100th like!
101
I like old keys way more then keyless cars
Abel Van Marle I wish everything was like a keyless car but I could get in and turn the key.
NO3- Porsche has it in the Panamera.
You have to twist a cheap as plastic knob to start your 100k car...
Vinnisl a Nah I mean I wish it would unlock itself and I could lock it with the pad/button on the handle but it had a real key.
NO3- Most cars do have a physical key hidden in the electronic key, you can twist to start too but the hole is hidden inside an interior panel somewhere
You just tryna be a contrarian, nostalgia clouding your sense
BMW drivers sure can't live without indicators 😉
That outro lmao
hehe yeh
No WE cannot.
That's Peugeot drivers.
Bond, what an original comment that’s isn’t definitely begging for likes, great creativity fam
The same comment on every video gets boring
I feel like i just watch an ad
it's because you just did. It's payed marketing. a sneaky way tho. kind of a sell out thing to do.
why? almost all of these features are available on every new car these days.
It annoys me
skoda kodiaq
Yea
I'm just happy with my WRX, I don't need a backup camera or any of that..Just give me a manual trans, heat and AC, I'll be happy
I have a Dacia Logan 2004 (if dont know search it on google) i dont have AC and barely any heat, my car is the cheapest car in europe but it is the most reliable car ive ever owned!!
My brother is an amateur mechanic and he can install nearly all the things listed in the video very easily. You don't need to buy a car with these features, just install third party
Lived without ac for a few weeks this summer. You get used to it after awhile but you'll always smell no matter what you do.
Amen!
I drive an '81 Puch G-wagen, no AC, no power steering and fairly crappy heating but it's still awesome.
Is it bad that my car has none of these things? It's a little old. Well. 2007
Kaskobi thats new
I only have the volume, bluetooth, and trip thing. Even then the bluetooth is a bit lacky with Windows Phones
@@rogehmarbi You have a Windows phone still?
@@jussapitka6041 not anymore, I have a Note 7 now, much better than the Windows Phones of old
@@rogehmarbi doesn't the note 7 blow up?
We can live without everything in a car except heater and aircon
you can live without AC easy too. Just live all your life without it and you'll adapt
Aren't the steering wheel and pedals etc technically inside ur car and u kinda need them
Heater is actually necessary in germany to get a car road legal because if windows fog up, you cant see. But ac is not necessary. And i dont need it as well.
Pretty much
Wow, you must be such a good driver.
this is just a 5-minute ad to that car
That Kodiaq wasn't for free
Richard Ren this is a skoda..
Richard Ren buy one. They're great
Richard Ren im 16 and my dream car is an sl65 amg. But in my country its kinda impossible to afford so i wanna buy an s2000
Richard Ren the s2000 is cheap has good gas milage and is a honda so its unbreakable. A used bmw would kill me to repair every single time. So i'd go with a honda since they are cheaper
Car technology i can't live without:
1: Pop-up headlights
2: Hydraulic power steering
3: Power windows
However i appreciate the tyre technology & heated seats.
But when it comes to electronics i don't really trust them...
Armour Shooter Same, I'm worried they will get hacked and maybe used for a terrorist attack
Olav Sanchez & don't forget EMP electronics scared of them... thats y im a big mechanical guy!
How can u know what hydraulic power steering feels like when u dont even have car?
Kaisuhina cuz i drive my mum's car duh... :P
1. I am more of a truck guy so really no opinion on pop up headlights. Though I do believe cool headlights are cooler than pop up headlights
2. I don't care what moves my steering rack as long as there is a shaft connecting my steering wheel to the rack. In some new cars they are using electric "pumps" that move the rack for you but the wheel isn't actually connected. Basically it just becomes a controller. Which sucks if you lose power or the motor fails because you going straight until you stop or something stops you. And without the shaft, you can't "feel" the road so you couldn't tell you were on ice until you start going sideways. Electric motors are better than hydraulic pumps because they don't have lag and don't have to release pressure which causes a lot of wear on the pump. You should never turn with the wheel full lock.
3. Roll down windows are the best.
A real man warms his car in the morning, not the other way around.
A real man doesn't need to tricks to demonstrate he is a real man.
In your case, you might get someone to show you pictures about this.
When your car has 0 of these features... :(
i made it 69 likes buddy :)
@@HEATHENS5074 ha ha bad luck bro
@@dietznutz1 f you lol
How many of us don't have any of these in our cars? ✋
my cars from 92 and i have cruise control that doesnt work but my ac and heat work
Me, but I have the tire threading thing.
Subaru drivers can't live without vapes
Subaru Tecnica international true shit
Subaru Tecnica international or head gaskets
Wow thanks Guys thought I was the only 1😜lol jk
or a blown trans lol
I miss the "heated steering wheel" that is also very nice... but number one of my favs is blind spot detection, it is so much nicer. Keyless entry is hackable and can easly go wrong though
I don't care much for heated seats - often feels like someone farted before I sat down. But, what I do like are heated steering wheels, which are oddly rare.
I also personally don't care about auto headlights, but, I would appreciate it if _others_ had it (for the reasons mentioned in the video).
Blind spot detection is really only necessary if your car has poor visibility and/or if the driver doesn't know how to properly set the mirrors.
cooling seats though...
Wait 4:14 is that how you check your blind spot? daym bro
I love cooled seats. I actually have it on my car.good in the summer
@@kevinisenzo7945 Yep cooled seats are just as nice as heated.
I Have them in my Passat and they are Amazing
I gotta say I really like the trip computer, specifically the fuel mpg read-out. Gotta love it when my car says I did 85mpg on a fairly long journey.
I can't live without a manual transmission.
Why
Kaisuhina because I enjoy driving, not just sitting down and flexing my right foot.
But i have two left feet
Mr Dayum Fine. You should get a car with a true manual transmission. That would get old quick!
Jordan Prier eh? I have an 05 Civic Type R. That's manual
'Bloody hell mate this is way too hot!!'
Alex: 'WHAHAHA!'
I love key starters.The start/stop button doesn’t give me emotions like the key start.
Unless the car got needle sweep!
love my 1995 ford falcon
cable throttle
hydraulic power steering
rwd
inline 6
inline 6 just made me love your falcon much more
#barratheworld?
i love car throttle but this seems like a sponsored video
i'm sure if it was sponsored they wouldn't take kindly to him calling the car ugly xD, they've probably been given the car for long term review and so what else are they going to use if they are making a video about new car features? it's not like anything is unique to the skoda.
I don't think you understand that it's illegal to create a sponsored/paid promotion and not disclose it. You people are always so quick to jump on the bandwagon and accuse everything of being sponsored just because it features a brand that you've already seemed to deem "unworthy".
This video has a Hyundai.. SPONSORED!
This video features a Skoda.. HE WAS PAID TO SAY IT!
Because God forbid a company improves and actually has something worth complimenting. Skoda has a similar build quality to VW, Audi & Seat.. They're really not a million miles from each other. Just because a car isnt a quirky, old, rwd car with no assists aimed for enthusiasts, doesn't mean it has no merits. This comment section is riddled with elitists claiming that anyone who drives a car with a few luxuries is lazy. I'm sure Alex doesn't drive his E36 M3 every single day, and has a more modern car for daily use, this Skoda is probably a borrowed car that they chose to use because it met the criteria. Think a little more about the situation rather than saying that you think it's a sponsored video when it obviously isn't.
IIRC, its Ethan's new car. He got rid of the Suzuki and bought this.
I though he bought a Karoq... But yeah, a Skoda SUV anyway.
Since every of those features are not exclusive to Skoda or VAG, no, it is not. I actually have all of them on my Renault.
Keyless start is pointless imo... Good old turn start wins for me...
Not only pointless but risky. Somebody waving a suitcase past your bag with the key might be enough to steal your car now.
I miss my Malibu it had remote start, and I could use a app on my phone to start it and it would be warm or cool when I got outside
So nice to see someone who thinks like me.. Along with 48 upvotes! Faith in humanity, restored.
I take out the start and stop button in the new Mercedes cab at work just to put in the key and turn it to turn the car on!
My cars are from the year 1968, 1974, and 2005 so I’ve never experienced any of those
Those are the best cars my friend
Mine is also from 2005, i have heated seats and I agree I don't want to live without them, all other things just annoy me most of the time especially keyless entry (and I drive modern cars all the time...)
Edit: new car, ok, so turns out Bluetooth and Auto headlights are quite nice, still didnt get keyless as i still hate that.
My car is from 1949 and has factory seat heating but I only drive with sunny weather so I never use it.
Car tecnoligies i cant live without

You can live without gearbox, brakes, and steering wheel? Sweet!
@Thomas Culwick only slightly tho
What about electric cars?

actually it is Škoda
This video might as well be called ''10 thing I like about the Škoda Kodiaq''
There should be a device in your car that warms or cools the shift knob because that shit can get hot as fuck in the summer.
How about the steering wheel?
Collins LFC they have that alreadt
Cooled steering wheel :)))
I know there's heated steering wheels but I don't know about cooled steering wheels. My car has a black steering wheel and boy does it get hot in the summer to touch!
Paint it white.
Didnt you guys talk shit about keyless cars and buttons on car wheels in another video?
*shot fired* 😂
"I know instinctively where the volume control is"
***looks down at steering wheel volume control***
I have a 1990 jeep and have none of these features and I Love driving it more than any other vehicle
yep I can easily with without any of the items on this list. I also have no problem turning my head
really?! not even heated seats?
Same but I have a 1991 Honda Prelude
Id personally never want keyless go in my car.
It makes it 100 times easier to steal your car, and id just end up losing the key all the time since you dont have to think about it +its not always where you left it.
These are all lazy person gadgets, as long as I have some heating in my car I'm happy
same with me man... in my car i only have that and my sweet sweet music :) (i have to adjust my side mirrors by hand) outside the car there is no adjustment from the interior :D
Count me in the group :)
Y'all are weird
No... we are all good drivers and know what is essential!
But most of all If I don't have stupid electric gizmo's on board it cant break down! It make life simpler and better!
Do I need trip computer - no I fuel up to full and drive to 1/4 it is simple
Do I need keyless - no and no one can copy my code and steal the car
Do I need blind spot - no I watch the mirrors and know where and how many cars are around me and look over my shoulder when make manoeuvres.
Do I need heating seats - no in a minutes my but is already warm by my own temperature
And so on and so on! This is useless crap which at the end fail and cause nerves and money - but most of all and especially the driving aids as Jordan said in the first comment made you lazy and in a case of need you are now aware of the situation neither ready to react fast - no thanks, let me be weirs, I can live with that. You can throw your money for whatever shit you want!
+Bryce Yoder
That doesnt mean he is broke. Video is titled ,,10 Modern Car Technologies I Can’t Live Without'' and they are usefull in some way but far from necesary
Things that i would say modern car should have:
ABS, power steering, heating, air conditioning, automatic lights/DRL (i want those because you have to have lights on all the time in the winter period in my country), good seats and i think thats enough.. eh yeas tachometer
I wish the damn touchscreen/connectivity stuff would be optional so I could just put my own radio in it and that´s it...
I never use my radio when im driving
I do use it when im waiting for something etc when im sitting with engine off
And of course Manual Transmission
+Anargya Atha Of course, that shold be standard
edit: oh yeah lets include aux
Well, there are a few mid90s/early2000s cars I want (won´t care which one I actually will get of them) and one of them only comes in automatic, but I prefer manual too.
Heated seats are a necessity in Finland, especially wjere I live. The -30°C weather kills me in a car for some reason
I dont have any of these features in both my cars...love it when its old and simple
Thankfully a lot of this stuff can be retrofitted to older (better) cars for cheap.
Heated seat inserts are inexpensive and simple to install.
Reversing cameras are cheap and there are wireless ones that go to your phone so no need to route wires, and they mount as license plate surrounds. Auto headlight modules are cheap. If you want to go all-out you can even get aftermarket versions of those top-down 360 degree camera systems, but you need to drill into your side mirror housings and possibly bumper.
Even keyless start buttons can be retrofitted, installs a lot like a remote starter.
Blind spot monitoring kits exist and are cheap.
Adaptive cruise control can't though, too intergrated with the car
The Torque app can display remaining range pretty easily based on miles driven and how much the fuel pump is pushing.
You can install aftermarket cruise control kits. All you're missing there is a radar and an ECU to control maintaining the distance.
You are so goddamn right. Although I find keyless entry pretty useless, is it so hard to push the buttons on the remote.. But push to start is kinda neat since you can have your keys in your pocket, and you will have hard time locking them in the car.
All that may be true. But think about the work involved in retrofitting all those things - even if everything goes alright, which rarely happens - usually you run into problems of one or another kind.
Its often bad enough with mechanical stuff, thinking about retrofitting all those electrical gadgets is giving me the creeps... and if you pay a mechanic to install them you might as well buy a car that already has all those things from the factory.
Not to mention that even if a mechanic installs those things, stuff can still go wrong... plastic clips on old cars are brittle, sometimes they are seperate parts, sometimes they are not and u need to replace f.e. a whole trim strip if something breaks - for my old bmw, some of those cost about 300 €.
I have a van, bigger than that suv, no camera, no parking sensors and no dents on the rear.
Heated seats!.. Cold climates, OK. Give you that.
Rubber, 👍
Steering buttons, 👍
Lights, avoid bad drivers to be identified.👎 and avoid.
Adjust your mirrors property, all 3 of them. No blind spot.
Clavius Magnus You always have a blind spot, no matter how well you adjust the mirrors. Especially behind A pillar, you can't do anything about that one
Sir Wafel It depends on several things, vehicle, your seat position, how you adjust the mirrors.
I won't say I doesn't happen at all, but proper adjustments do help. Most of all is how the driver faces his driving skills.
Clavius Magnus Yes of course, I just had to point that out since you said in the first comment it doesn't happen at all
Sir Wafel I don't feel a blind spot on my car...
Clavius Magnus and this is MR I never fall off the horse 😂

2:58 probably listening to Phil Collins
Heated seats is one of my favorite car feature
Nice buzzfeed article.
Heated seats and the keys I can live without. I don't want my arse to be on fire cold or not, them keys I do not trust.
Heel Race Driver heated seats is must have in colder countries
the tyres on the m3 look so sexy
Love fat tyres done right.
I'd never experienced heated seats until I hired a car in Canada. I gotta say that when it's -20 degrees outside heated seats and heated steering wheel are amazing!
I'm more likely to need air conditioned seats when driving at home though.
Keyless entry, push button start, auxiliary input, heated / vented seats (vented are key), and Bi-Xenon / led headlights are all features that are necessities when looking for a car. Leather as well.
ABS
Number one in my opinion
My volvo v70 2007 has all these options...
well yea it's a volvo, of course its 10Years ahead of this Skoda :D
(with some thinkering i could add all except maybe the blindspot to my Volvo 850 from 1994 aswell)
My renault megane 2003 has all these too
Keyless start?
Kaisuhina ofc it has keyless go volvo made it since 2004 ...
My 2006 Rav4 has all these too
All that technology and then you're driving on the wrong side!! 🙂
Doesn't the car warn you?
When the volume control on the steering wheel was mentioned I was waiting for Phil Collins to start playing.

things i cant live without
1. Hydraulic steering
2. everything analog

4. dials to adjust the back rest
5. Power windows
6. heated seats
7. acerage consumption gauge digital
Auto Lights are in EVERY Škoda from 1998 and later, because in Czech Republic it is needed to have your lights on 24/7 so Škoda makes them turn on to full power automaticly for a long time
Man people are lucky i wish my family could afford a nice car like that :(
Thats what u wish for?
Seriously even a cheap Prius has most of this

Steering wheel volume is honestly now a deal breaker for a new car. I just love fiddling with it like I'm a legit DJ.
my mom has a 2016 Passat, and I indeed can't live without heated seats, keyless entry, and I think the front end looks stunning, since the ACC radar is hidden really nicely

10 Car Technologies I need to promote for skoda
Škoda*
Volkswagen Group
racecar dislikes this video
Things in my car I can't live without:
Straight 6 engine
Manual transmission
No driving assists
No annoying beeping
No screen
Simple interior
That's the BMW E46. One of my favorite cars!
How about you make a video about which of these technologies you can add to your old car?
why do you love skodas so much XD greets from czech republic!
f4ntom take the Skoda badge off on top of the engine, and it says vw
I personally prefer the styling of Skodas to Seat/VW and they offer far better value than other VW brands, still swear by my MX5 though😉
Half of those are meh... Remote start, cooled seats, nonadaptive cruise control are things I would add to some of those listed.
Also Kodiak is rubbish, like most Škodas.
None of the new Škodas are rubbish, stop living in the 80's -.-
Yes, they are, every single one of them. The models in the 80s at least had some character. What they make today are cheap soulless Volkswagen knock-offs. Even the country where the brand come from has a saying "You don' buy a Škoda. You're assigned one as a job benefit".
I tested a Skoda Octavia the other day and oh boy it was cheap. Those materials, i mean holy crap i've never touched something as cheap as them, in a car that costs as much as it does. What a bucket of plastic cardboard piece of shit. The steering was awful, the infotainment system was godawful to use, the DSG gearbox is a jerky crap gearbox and it wasn't very warm either, which is really important here in Finland.
Overall compared to an Opel Astra K, it was just bad. The only thing good in it, was the 1.4 TSI engine and even that will break knowing Volkswagen crap engines. So will the gearbox.
I'll stick to the Astra, at least that has some feel in the steering and the materials aren't nearly as cheap + it looks and feels good.
Manakuski think someone is bullshitting. If you think Skodas are cheaply built, you don’t know what build quality is.
Oh you have no idea. I can tell you Skodas are VERY cheaply built. If you think they aren't, then you have no idea what build quality is. I'm not going to argue with anyone who claims that a cheap car such as Skoda is not cheaply built.
Rather still have an E36 M3 👍

Coming from driving a 2001 Ford Taurus for two years as my first car, and barely moving to a 2018 Impreza hatchback this week, I can comfortably live without these luxuries.
Modern cars are convenient, but they are also mostly plastic, and entirely boring...
Brodie Bennett True. Cars with plasticky interiors are uninspiring and characterless.
unless it's a chiron/mclaren/any other hypercar/supercar
In old cars pretty much everything is plastic. It all depends on class
IS THAT THE NEW SKODA FOR ETHAN
And I liked my own comment
I wanted to buy a turbo keychain on your Car Throttle site. But unfortunatly i couldn't because i don't have PayPal (i live in Belgium)... Is it possible to pay differently? I would love a car-related keychain! :)
I can get PayPal in Belgium
I cant live without Car Throttle.
My E46 has half of this included and I've also modernized what it didn't have. In process of converting lights over to xenon, hid, and LED, and I have a backup camera just to have the luxury

Car technology WE can live without...
HYBRID
I live without it BUT I NEED IT
70 MPG or 50 MPG
Hybrid is gay
GROW UP!!! Hybrid engines are reliable and economical... Way better than any diesel!
Very Uncreative Name not really
I know the Prius is a meme at this point but let’s be real for a moment
It’s reliable af
And it has a big boot as well
One probably bigger than our old civic
Yeah I personally love gasoline cars, hate diesel and like hybrids because it's cheap lol
I can live without everything except for air conditioning.
Air conditioning is a must in the hottest part of California, where temperatures regularly reach 100 degrees.
100 degrees, thats boiling hot.... :P
He's talking about degrees Fahrenheit.. that's around 38 degrees Celsius.
I dont have air conditioning in my Fiat Panda...
evokki0075 puahahahahahahahahahahaha
It seems like the advantage of "steering wheel mounted volume control" is only because touchscreens are a disadvantage of modern cars.
There is nothing like a volume knob right next to the shifter that you can reach out and adjust without looking.
The only modern car technology i cant live without is the passenger side Ejecting Seats... They're very useful...
heated seats, reversing camera, trip computer.... that is not very new car features. To be honest I once owned BMW525 made in 1988 and it had trip computer already and heated seats + steering wheel... that car was made 30 years ago! I guess the new thing is that they can be found in cheap low end cars nowadays. What is actually new (kind of 3 years old) is 360 camera, self parking... and if we mentioning heated seats why not ventilated as well? In fact ventilation on the leather seats almost more important for me than heating, especially with mild climate like the one in UK. Radar cruise is nice thing and it doesn't need to look ugly either - check Lexus, it is just part of the badge actually looks better than standard badge. I agree keyless entry is nice and outside of Lexus (which introduced it in 2005) it is actually fairly new thing, it seems like a long time but in fact fully keyless systems are quite new thing - I had Audis, BMW and MB with "keyless" systems but they only opens the doors most of the times and you still need to stick the key somewhere before you can start the car.
Anyways the list is just "common" nice features in new cars, not really "new features" and even then plenty of features which are really modern are not mentioned e.g. android/apple car play, self parking, talking about auto lights.. adaptive lights and auto dipping... etc ... etc.
