Bought a new Bronco 6 months ago, nice vehicle, very pleased but has many " safety " features I wonder about.
Several past cars had rear view cameras, is that making us not simply look around before backing ?
This 'lane assist ' that bumps you back to center of lane - folks using it to pay less attention, text more ?
Light on side mirrors indicating vehicle in blind spot - don't really look ?
Car shuts off at redlight - good idea ?
BRIGHT lights- blinding oncoming traffic at night.
Use radio as a telephone, talk more.
Self driving vehicles ?
Trust tire pressure dash gauge ?
Are we becoming a "drive by instrument" society instead of a ' drive by sight " ? Like aircraft ?
Is technology making us unsafe-- or safer ?
