The only thing of use is probably the back up camera. If you’re in a smallish vehicle, and you have a large SUV on one side and a minivan on the other you can at least somewhat see when trying to back out.

As far as the rest of the nanny BS like auto braking, blind spot monitoring, lane assist, etc, etc wouldn’t be needed if 1.) They had better drivers ED requirements. 2.) Disable data features on phones while a vehicle is in motion so drivers can’t watch YouTube, post to Facebook, check emails, and text while they’re driving down the road.
3.) Better enforcement of driving laws.

Yeah, but personal responsibility/training doesn’t reinforce the “deep nanny-state”!! ;-) It is “self-reinforcing”/every expanding.

The last time I was on a plane, the phone kept insisting I was driving and wouldn’t do certain functions.
