Well to be honest I disagree.
The only things that need to be seperate that you mention would be the antilock brake control. The antilock brakes too are not such a big deal either so long as my real brakes don't go out. You do realize that cars existed for many year before these things and they stop well enough don't be a wuss put some effort into them. In atleast one case AL brakes put you in a worse position than you would be with regular brakes.
Plus driving w/o lights(front or back) is very doable. I see it everyday with someone's old crappy car. Fuel tank level indicator, please. If my fuel tank indicator brakes for me nothing would change as I would get in fixed in short order in the mean time I can damn well tell when my truck is low on gas.
So to sum up as long as my truck is functional enough to physically move and stop itself no big deal. In my world we have things called repair shops when something stops working I take it there and it gets fixed. My saftey in the trip to the repair shop is lower but that doesn't mean it's any guarruntee that something will happen. If we didn't do things that put us at risk we wouldn't leave the house, hell that's dangerous those things can burn down. The safest place would be in a plane or so the airlines say. Lets all just fly around, wait lets build a flying city.
