I can definitely understand some of the things discussed here but if the car was just purchased in December a little patience and further assistance may make the difference in convincing her to keep the car. We (in our 70's) had an older (2007) Hyundai Tucson from 2012 until just this past October when we replaced her with a 2024 new but demo Hyundai Tucson. It is an understatement to say they was a huge learning curve because the technology and operation of these newer vehicles is completely different from the older vehicles. The car manual is daunting but fortunately my husband was dedicated to reading every page and learning all the features and possibilities of this amazing car. It certainly wasn't comfortable at the beginning. But with time, driving, and getting all the important settings setup she has become a comfortable joy to drive, and the safety features give peace of mind. It may be nearly impossible for your mom to set up all the features like lane assist, lane centering, back up camera, and auto "everything", but once they are in place I became more comfortable driving the car knowing that you can still drive like you used to with shoulder checks, mirror checks, etc. you also know that if you should cross a line or a person is approaching behind your car, an alarm will let you and keep you safe. There are also some really good YouTube videos that do a good job of explaining a lot of the features. I hope your mom can begin to appreciate the wonderful car she has, but if not I wish you and her all the best.
