Since July 2024, all new cars sold in Europe are required to include driver assistance systems designed to enhance road safety. Among these systems are features like speed alerts, lane-keeping assistance, automatic emergency braking, and drowsiness detection. However, some drivers have grown weary of the constant monitoring and corrections from these systems, leading to an unexpected trend: the most frequently used button in Dacia cars is the one that allows drivers to disable these technologies. Renault and Dacia have responded to this feedback by incorporating a physical button on the dashboard, labeled "My Safety," which lets drivers quickly disable several of these systems with just two presses. This feature, known internally as the "magic button," has become a favorite among Dacia drivers, who appreciate the ability to customize their driving experience. The button activates a mode called "My Safety Perso," allowing users to disable specific systems they find intrusive. According to Katrin Adt, CEO of Dacia, this button is "the most used in our cars" and highlights the growing disconnect between regulatory requirements and consumer preferences. The driver assistance systems in question are mandated by the European GSR2 regulation, which sets new safety standards for vehicles sold in the European Union. Since July 2024, all new cars must include technologies such as intelligent speed adaptation (ISA), which alerts drivers when they exceed the speed limit, and systems that detect drowsiness or loss of attention. Additional features like automatic emergency braking and emergency lane-keeping assistance are also required. Starting in July 2026, a new rule called the advanced driver distraction warning system (ADDW) will be mandatory, monitoring the driver's visual attention and alerting them if they look away from the road for too long. While the European Commission argues that these regulations are essential for road safety, estimating that they could save over 25,000 lives and prevent 140,000 serious injuries by 2038, manufacturers like Renault and Dacia are concerned about the financial burden. Katrin Adt notes that compliance with these regulations now consumes 25% of Dacia's R&D budget and the efforts of 25% of its engineers. She argues that these mandates contribute to rising car prices, making it harder to offer affordable mobility. Both Renault and Dacia have called for a regulatory freeze on certain vehicle categories, while other manufacturers like BMW and Mercedes have also introduced ways for drivers to disable or customize these systems, though not with the same ease as Dacia's "My Safety" button.
