Watch TV and the manufacturers will crow on, about how safe all the " collision avoidance " technology will make their vehicles.
Well.....
Yes and no.
Yes - when it' s new - and under warranty
But - what will happen 10, 20 or even 30 years down the road?
...
My guess?
Owners will get reliant on such systems doing the job the " meatware" used to do - paying attention. ( in theory)..
And - like all other mechanical or electrical systems - at some point the safety gear will quit working - and neither the car or it' s " driver" will be paying attention - and moving shit will encounter unmoving shit - or moving shit that' s going in a different direction.
Then of course the " driver" who was playing with his dick at the point of impact - will sue the manufacturer, for not making a perfect product.
Lawyers salivate at the prospects.....
