These takes are funny because the steps required are pretty onerous. There's always a bigger idiot out there. I learned to drive in the days before texting, moved to NYC and stopped driving for 15 years or so. It's been amazing seeing the people texting&driving and just full on distracted driving nowadays. I hope that driver assist tech does not get hampered by American litigiousness because some a percent of people are going to going to misuse it. If you are a thoughtful driver to start with, these technologies provide an extra layer of protection and reduction to driver fatigue. If you are an idiot, you will continue to be an idiot. No software is going to fix idiots. If you drive with your hands on the wheel.. as the instructions say, the screen tells you every single time, and the sensors attempt to confirm and remind you every 30-60 seconds.. it's another layer of safety beyond your own eyes&brain. Some people were buying or fabricating devices to provide sufficient torque to trick the sensor to believe hands were on wheel. These are the same galaxy brains which will buy a defeat device for the next safety check that is introduced - weights to trick seat sensors, googly eyed sunglasses to trick cameras, fake heat & capacitive touch to trick the wheel to believe a human hand is there, etc.
