It's not a worthwhile tradeoff because erroneously functioning humans are still there, and this tech enables them! Today it's crashing a car, tomorrow it's forgetting to walk your dog or pick up your kids. Mindless humans are the problem and auto braking is just a band aid.
By all means, if auto braking (and in the future - auto driving) is enabled, there must be an option in the OBDII interface to disable it.
- BoorishBears 6y agoYou're surely one of them though, no? There's not a single person who can claim they've never been distracted while driving. People hear "distracted" and their minds go to texting and their virtue signaling goes to 11... case in point Realistically humans are easily distracted. Distracted can be an errant thought, a random sight, a bad mood, literally limitless possibilities for why our brains would wander from the task at hand. I don't have a problem with saying automatic breaking should be controllable, but the diatribe about mindless humans... we're all mindless humans.
- Bancakes 6y agoInteresting you should ask that, I had a lot of problems in college with distraction so it's something of a goal to be concentrated outside my house. Call it a coping mechanism.
