100%. All these "driver assist" features = less attentive drivers.

OK, I can't pass up the opportunity to share. I agree with this JABCAT sentiment 100%.


Coming home from the airport last week and I'm driving the old sh!tbox that I leave at the airport, but that's not relevant. Come up on a new Honda Accord that is wandering left and right in the lane but never crossing, speed inconsistent.

The inconsistent speed allowed me to catch up with the car, which was camped in the left lane. And what did I discover, hands 100% off the wheel texting and flipping me off for passing on the right, oh and watching a video on another phone propped on the steering wheel column.

The more driving assistance that shows up in cars just means more people disconnect even further from the driving experience. I certainly understand the safety aspect but now when used like this.

I would hope on average these systems are helping to reduce accidents even if there are people who are abusing them, but I haven't ever looked into if there is any data available to support that.

True. I go on a long drive (200-300 miles) twice a month for work and it's usually after I already worked for 9 hours that day. That's partially the reason I have my tesla cause I usually just use full self driving for that drive. I'm still keeping the tesla even when I get the M2, but I just know as soon as I get the car I probably won't drive the tesla for at least a month.
