Best Car Feature

Dear Camry,
I appreciate all of your safety features. However, you may want to rethink how to handle the "notifying" signal for when the car is sliding out of control (i.e. how you tell us that you've decided to stop trying to use traction control and we're just screwed.) The ear piercing, rapid beeping signal is so distracting that the operator may actually struggle to remain calm enough to re-gain control of the car. Because seriously, when the car starts to slide sideways do you really think that an oh-shit-this-is-really-bad audible "signal" is needed to inform the driver that there is a problem?
Sincerely,
Frustrated winter driving mom (& backseat toddler driver - WHOA! WHOA! BEEP!)
