#52I'd love to have knobs "how experienced driver I am" and "how familiar am I with the area" (this one can even be automatic, given the amount of data map app makers collect!) for the map apps. If I'm in an unfamiliar area, I really don't want to theoretically save a few seconds by taking a shortcut via little maze of twisty passages, all different. Just give me a straightforward route using a highway, please. (edit: t…
I'd settle for maps telling me if a road is paved or not. As a motorcycle rider that likes to take less well traveled roads, I've gotten into bad situations due to not knowing a road was unpaved until I got there. Not the least of which was having to be rescued in the middle of the night in freezing temperatures because I had to back track over 20 miles after a paved road turned to gravel half way to my destination.

I think this may already exist? My car's built-in navigation presents me with the most straightforward route by default, and shows me options when they approach. If I take one of those options, it has a personalisation setting that will prefer that option the next time.
Nice. What's the navigation system? In-house, or do they use some external service?

Audi's MMI. It's has Google Earth/Maps and TomTom logos in areas of the interface, but the interface feels quite tightly integrated with the car's non-media features so I presume it's a combination of own and lease.
