Default Re: 'Electronic safety assistance actually makes driving more dangerous' - your thoughts?

Good timing on this thread, riding shotgun at the moment in the old man's i30N

Blind spot warning going off its head, because of the car in the inside lane also waiting to turn right, I30N decides to start going off its head, it does the same thing in roundabouts.



The problem with bullshit alarms is you just ignore them, they lose their purpose if this stuff is over sensitive.

Here's what the old man does every time he drives it:



Every bullshit feature OFF, the ones that wrestle control of the car from you, because they're way oversensitive.

I like ABS/ESC, parking sensors and 360 cameras but reefing on the brakes or taking the steering wheel off you, **** off. Stop/start systems can also GAGF to save the poofteenth of fuel you use idling at intersections.

Maybe other implementations of it are way better, because the Hyundai throttle mapping and it's cruise control implementation is an absolute joke compared to Ford Europe's, so maybe the AEB and other safety systems are better implemented in other brands.
