Not exactly impact technology, but my new truck has the habit of turning on lights - headlights and sometimes interior ones - when "it" thinks they're needed.

The problem is that it doesn't turn them off when "I" think they're no longer necessary.

When the lights remain on after I shut down the engine and exit the vehicle, I find the truck resistant to the threat of impact, since shaking a fist at it does nothing. The only thing that seems to work is to fix the offending lights with a very stern glare, and mutter curses at it for about 20 to 25 seconds, after which it "gets the message" and slowly (as if to protest) dims the lights until they extinquish.
