Default Re: Have Useless "Safety" Features gone too far?

Good points on the disconnect between active safety items and passive ones.
ABS is passive...it will not "interfere" until you have gone beyond the limits of what you can do or when something unexpected comes up.
The rest? A lot of them are laziness...pure and simple. Take a little notice of what's going on around you and drive your vehicle...don't expect it to do the driving for you.

The other point is that lane departure...as said above...doesn't help when someone crosses into your lane. These systems only work when each and every car on the road has them...and then you have to assume that they will never go wrong, at all.

Interesting toys...that's all they are at best, and just more distractions at worst.
