what I am afraid of is that with some of the newer models having sensors in the door panels as well as backup cameras, younger folks are going to get the feeling that they don't have to think to drive. we still have to look around the car, not relying on sensors. then we do have idiots who do just barrel on to the roadway and assume that everyone else is going to kiss their hiney and move over.
when we were driving this summer, we saw a lot of that crap. Some states had long entry ramps so we could see them coming and some had very short with no wiggle room to avoid.
we have to drive defensive. When I was teaching, the math dept felt that the juniors and seniors who still couldn't do simple math skills, could use a calculator to speed up things. i had to constantly teach basic math skills. the introduction was to give them a problem to work on their calculators. Then go around the room and ask for the answer. Often I had many wrong answers. that lead to the discussion and enlightenment that one has to know what keys to press, and press the right keys. Just because the LCD screen had the answer, it wasn't the correct one.
Same goes for these cars, just because the electronics say things are this and that, they might be wrong.
the other observation is that these bad drivers are just bad drivers and hopefully we don't see those arrogant assholes again.
