I have a new Mercedes with all the goodies. Lane assist, brake assist, blind spot warning, cameras all around the car. Some of it I use....but only as a confirmation of what I already see. I still turn my head to look when backing out and to see if there’s any cars before switching lanes.

I recently rented a car that had all those goodies, and I thought they were an absolute pain in the @ss.

I read a recent by some organization (maybe AAA) that concluded something I've suspected all along ... that many late-model cars with all that sh!t in them are actually less safe than an older car because the technology ends up being a serious distraction for the driver.
