Had to bust a move this morning (evasive maneuver)

Yeah, they took over from makeup! Point remains that cell phones and all that other "safety" garbage they put into cars now are the biggest culprits of unsafe driving. Hell, even on the damn car commercials, they show the morons not paying attention to the drive, but relying on the avoidance/lane drift features to their jobs for them.

Pathetic.

Agreed. My Tundra is an '18, so like all '18 Toyota models, has all sorts of safety features. One of the features is adaptive cruise control, (or whatever Toyota calls it), that will slow your vehicle if you come up on a car moving slower than you, while you have cruise control on. In other words, "you're too dumb to maintain a proper distance from the car in front of you, so we'll do it for you".
