Out here in southern California, we run into more insane traffic in a month than most people living in other cities see in a year. As a result, there can be a sincere desire to do something, anything to make traffic move. Wouldn’t it be nice to have anti-traffic missiles?

No, it wouldn’t, and you should be ashamed for thinking about it (I am). Still, the 2016 Nissan Maxima’s heated steering wheel is a nice feature on cold nights even if it does appear to be the launch lock for Sidewinder missiles on a US fighter jet. Oh well. Thankfully, 0-60 in around six seconds means we get to launch in different ways in our Maxima.
