What Does This Mean?
[ SLANG ][ EV ][ MACHINE CULTURE ]
A mocking nickname for a vehicle's collection of safety-assist warnings and interventions, framed as treating the driver like a child who can't be trusted rather than a capable adult.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"The nanny system beeps if I look at the radio for two seconds too long."
LORE & ORIGIN
Broad, informal umbrella term applied across driver-assist features whenever their warnings feel excessive or condescending rather than genuinely helpful.
