You know what we don't need in our cars? More alerts. Unless my car is going to have a Terminator-style HUD to put a red box around something that I need to care about, there's only so many dings and beeps I can understand while I'm trying to drive. If I have to read an alert that a pedestrian is in a crosswalk up ahead, it's immediately getting turned off. My car already tries to tell me when it thinks I'm about to hit someone or someone is about to hit me. By the time I've looked at the screen to know, I'd have already hit them. How many of these warnings will eventually cause alarm overload? That's not to say I'm opposed to safety tech. I think it's a great idea. But there's no way to safely and effectively convey all that information to me while I'm already driving. If this gets rolled out as planned, I can't see how cars won't be constantly dinging and beeping and cause notification blindness, negating the whole effort.
