    What’s also scary is how irresponsible people are being with this technology.

    I had someone tell me they routinely take naps on their drive into work using lane assist and adaptive cruise control! I started laughing but they didn’t laugh back…

      I love those technologies and they’ve literally saved me from a 30 car pileup but I’d never sleep behind the wheel at the current state of it.

      This is why I carry the ol’ safety brick. Fits right in the center console. Just make sure to account for velocity when aiming.

      Christ. I hope they’re driving on a traffic less straight line. I use both routinely and there’s always moments I feel safer just taking control, some curves, odd traffic lines and other drivers merging in close make me sweat with those features.
