A statement said by all horrible drivers.

AEB is a mandated feature on all cause sold in Europe and has been for a couple of years. It was a feature of 25% of new cars sold over a decade ago meaning that right now there's more than 25% of cars on the road that has it.

It isn't causing accidents. It's actively preventing them. The data from literally everyone regardless of which country, regardless of whether it was government, university, or private (insurance companies), all agree it causes a net reduction in accidents.

Do everyone a favour and don't drive with a seatbelt. At least then you'll kill yourself and we won't need to deal with yet another idiot on the road who thinks they are better than the safety features of their car.

What bothers me is the "checked against a government database" part. What kinds of controls would be in place to manage the contents of the database? How hard would it be to put into the database "The president is a scumbag" and now the president and his/her allies have all the people who feel strongly negative about him/her in the crosshairs? Not very eloquent but you get the gist. Any political language could be put into the database if the proper controls were not in place and government officials at every level could be identified and targeted for retribution of some sort.
