Jim I will say I also appreciate your ability to discuss topics like an adult. However, we’ve had discussions before and I must say you think very much like the engineer you are. Not a bad thing, but I’m reminded of the character of Howard Wolowitz on Big Bang Theory. Most engineers I’ve met have grand ideas and care about their projects, but they have little real world grasps on the implementation or common sense. I will use your dead solid belief that these active driver safety systems and future autonomous vehicles are all about “saving lives”. I’m sure in your head you think that. I will tell you after 28 years in Law Enforcement people are stupid. Really stupid in some cases. These systems that push the car back over the lines aren’t saving a diabetic that’s grasping to consciousness but for millions of idiots texting and driving. I see it EVERY DAY! Cars meandering from lane line to lane line and the people barely look up from their phone. I do appreciate you saving me from being rear ended by these asshats, but all these things have done is enable a bunch of morons to continue to be a risk on the highway. How about a system that deactivates a cellphone when the car is in motion? That would be nice.
