There’s a point of diminishing returns with all these things, where the coat/benefit ratio approaches zero and even flips into the negative (meaning that the “solution” causes more problems than it solves.

My personal experience with these things are that they’re dangerous. They instill a sense of confidence that fosters laziness and results in poor situational awareness involving 2-3 ton (roughly) machines.

Given how many of them are already out there, I’d really like to see numbers on crashes/injuries/deaths caused by their (exclusive) use.

I work in insurance claims and I've had several people comlain because the person "wasn't there because my sensor didn't go off."
