I think what the OP is trying to get at is, "How many computer nannies will this car be equipped with and how annoying are these nannies going to be?" Nannies such as traction control, drive by wire, and tpms that hinder the users of the modern sports car to truly enjoy themselves.
We've all seen the "ABS" button and the potential that this could be a ABS activation/deactivation button. It really sends out the message that Toyota is trying to recreate the cars of the 80's and early 90's where interuption between the car and the driver is non existant.
How realistic is this message? A lot of these electrical and mechanical nannies that govern modern cars are there simply because of current standards with safety and emmissions. There are no ways around it.
You can expect the FT-86 to be equipped with such things as speed limiters, traction control, drive by wire, TPMS, and pretty much anything else that's equipped with what an average 2009 model automobile. In fact, standards change every year. The FT-86 could vary well come equipped with more annoyances than there all ready exists.
Right now it's not what the annoyances the FT-86 will come with, but how Toyota/Subaru choose to integrate such things at a tolerable level. Nevertheless, these things won't matter once aftermarket companies jump in a few years after production.
