> I think the same problem is starting to show in all of the assist technologies in cars. People are starting to rely more on those technologies than they should. Have you seen the commercials where someone is driving and almost gets everyone killed by taking their eyes off the road. The system slams them to a halt, barely saving them, and the parent happily smiles - family safe, nothing to learn here. In one commercial, the parent is supposed to be teaching their child to drive. These driving aids should work differently. If they ever have to emergency-brake to save you they should immediately activate a small packet of thermite in the ECU, rendering the car into a brick. You proved you can't use it safely so you shouldn't have it. It would be different if these devices worked, but they don't. They just tell you that your lack of skill is okay.
