There are a lot of assumptions in this thread. I happen to be with Glen on this one.

These systems aren’t a substitute for an attentive driver.

Also, like most systems when they’re launched, they will get better. At some point the sensors and cameras will take into consideration their surroundings, road condition and weather. We shouldn’t assume that the current state won’t improve over the next few years especially as data is collected and feedback is gathered from the vehicles that are already equipped.

In my opinion, these systems should be welcomed because there’s a wide swath of drivers who simply do not pay attention. And yes, they most certainly should pay attention and shouldn’t be on the road if they aren’t but the reality is that they will be on the road, not only with you but your children, friends and family, and all the attentiveness in the world won’t stop one from plowing into me, so if their vehicles can be equipped with these systems then I’m all for it, even if the byproduct is the same system being equipped in mine.
