被大家诟病最多的汽车技术创新，大概要数隐藏式门把手了。出门打车遇到这种车，给我的第一印象就 很不好，要是司机一时忘记按下开门键，你只能在外面干着急，要是恰逢下雨天，还得在外面多淋一会 儿雨，这又何必呢？ 据车企说，隐藏式门把手可以减少风阻、降低油耗，经济又环保。一部经常低速行驶的家用车而已，又 不是参加F1方程式比赛，门把手降低的那点风阻，能补偿其给用户带来的麻烦吗？且不说发生事故之 后，隐藏式门把手可能因为从外面打不开，从而丧失宝贵的救援机会，单单在北方地区使用就非常麻 烦，冬季天气寒冷，要是隐藏式门把手被冻住了，司机想上车都得费半天劲！ 据悉，《汽车车门把手安全技术要求》强制性国家标准，正公开征求社会各界意见。 其中一点，令人眼前一亮：征求意见稿提到，每个车门（不包括尾门）应配置具备机械释放功能的车门 外把手。这是什么意思呢，说白了就是必须配备传统式的手拉门把手，不能仅用电打开。 类似的奇葩设计还有不少。譬如，全景天幕把汽车变成"桑拿房"，全触屏让实体键3秒钟可搞定的事非 得花上几十秒，半幅方向盘让车主"找罪受"，电子外后视镜好看不实用……当中，有些奇葩设计只是给 司机增加一点麻烦，那还是小事，习惯就好了 ...
