Re: Millennial drivers are highway hazards, survey shows

As a disclaimer I generally cringe at generational marketing, but we can notice differences between shared experiences of groups of people growing in different times.
Kids in my immediate knowledge, one is on the Y/Z cusp and is fully into tech, no interest in cars or driving; the other is definite Z - as noticed by being more hands on, less connected; more 'call a spade a spade' (you know, the old harshness of growing up in Oz), less 'everyone gets a trophy'; more 'build it with my hands' less 'download the app' - wants to drive yesterday.
I also notice that each new level in driver aids and assistance, removes our personal responsibility that one step further. Eg, with the autonomous braking, you can be texting away, head down, and you will not hit the car in traffic in front of you. These days I watch faces in traffic so much more, to see whose eyes are up.
It will evolve to the point where you can, safely, watch Harry Potter in your commute. I think that will suit the tech/connected generation.

Reason: who's becomes "whose". I'm rusty, could still be wrong..
