    These cars are getting scary .....

    Let me start by saying I have always been a supporter of technology, but it has it's limits.....

    I have always bought new cars and then driven them until the wheels fall off (currently I have a 99, 01 and 06).

    I will not buy a new car with a lot of bells and whistles because the electronics start having problems after 5 or 6 years.

    I can just see "I didn't run over him officer, the car did !!!"

    This is nothing new . There are cars , which provide such a improvements in various cars for many years already . Manufacturers use different systems , from : "dynamic" , "active" , "distronic" , "adaptive" , or "traffic aware" braking assistance technologies . Germans , along Japanese ( and now Americans ) are implementing such a useful "luxury" , which has been found as a very attractive devices , helping to improve safety and reducing numbers of collisions . It could be "scary" to many , but adopting it is a matter of simple understanding of benefits attached to it.
