OH NO! How does one manage to drive?
That technology makes it easier and safer to drive. The adaptive cruise control made driving in SoCal much easier. It was great not having to hit the brakes and hit the gas continuously in rush hour traffic. If the blind spot monitor icon in my rear view mirror is lit up, I know I'm not making a lane change and so I don't have to take my eyes off the road to look back. That makes for safer driving. And backing up is much safer when I have a large vehicle parked next to me, which is quite frequently. Between the camera display on an eight inch screen, parking sensors and rear cross traffic alert, the chances of hitting anything while backing up are greatly reduced. The lane departure warning is only there in case of distracted driving, which everyone is guilty of. Yes, I survived 44 years without all that technology, but now that I have it, I'm much less likely to have an accident.
