Luddite - one who fears new technology. I don't fear it, I just think some
of it is ridiculous. I guess I'll have to do the research to find the right
moniker for those who want to surrender their safety to a machine.

Gee wiz accidents won't be the drivers fault any more. The OEM's
will bear the liability. That's the kind of logic that just about ended
General Aviation. Imagine what the product liability will contribute
to the cost of the vehicle. Bob To all the luddites commenting in
this thread: I can easily imagine hundreds or thousands of people not
killed each year (including potentially your children and family members )
because of the proposed technology. Is that a bad thing? Most likely the
collision warning will be accompanied by cutting the car's throttle and
applying brakes, perhaps even putting pressure on the steering to avoid
danger. I look forward to car-Flarm. Herb

I look forward to it if it is interlocked so that it is not functional if
the safety belts aren't connected. Or better yet, it locks the brakes.
