My problem/concern is the car mfger's race to expand consumer usable telematics.
Back up cams, lane trackers, blind side buzzers, 'auto' emergency braking, et al, are nice and the anecdotes of drivers being 'saved' can run for hundreds of pages.
All well and good, unless those drivers come to simply rely on the safety net(s), and just mash the gas and sort of point it down the road...
But this ongoing competition to add more 'wired/connected' features in cars is not good, imo.
Driving around, it is apparent that this texting plague may be worse than drunk/doped driving. Add in watching vids/TV on NAV, checking your smart phone for FB, messages, etc., and it's a fookin nightmare out there on the roads and highways, imo.
Save the crap excuse that "it's important", or "only for the passenger", and on and on...
BT/hands free phone, I get it and can't fight it. But the rest of the crap is nonsensical, self anointed, extraneous distraction venues that add nothing to any situ,
and simply promotes more bad driving, if that is possible.
