Totally electronic pushbutton parking brake. Who wants that crap?

I've gotten accustomed to the pushbutton parking break and even
pushbutton start. But I can't handle the pushbutton gear shift, though. That really needs to be a lever of some kind.

Because pulling the handle take so much effort!

What isn’t electronic on a vehicle anymore.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. The mechanical parking brake has worked for decades. And don’t get me started on the auto shutoffs.

Who trusts it?
Didn’t a Jeep roll over someone changing a tire last year because the person didn’t know how to properly set the electronic parking brake? What’s wrong with having a mechanical linked parking brake? If the electronics fail, it would still work.
