Well I guess for 50+ years a driver has been confident they can get in someone else's car and twiddle one of 2 or 3 knobs and get the lights working. Last few years seems to have broken that sensible concept.
Oh dear.
Yea and other things. The whole point was controls were a standard layout, but modern car designers don't seem to grasp the concept.
They think they are being clever by dumping everything in touchscreen menus etc, but actually the way it used to be was superior and was thought out by much smarter people.

It has become quite clear in recent years that red lights in Bristol are becoming optional for many motorists (inspired by the cyclists i think 
). This morning there was very slow on the route to Ikea/M32 junction.
Not only did I see about five people ignore the same set of lights but one people carrier actually ignored the right hand turn lane and drove across the white hatch lines and took the turn from the opposite side.
Just before the M32 junction, people were trying to turn around across the opposing traffic lights when they realised how long the queue heading back up.

Van had stopped, hazards on, reverse light on, guess he missed that exit and figured the best course of action was not to just circle back at the next exit, but to reverse back up the A3
