Re:who cares? (Score 1)

It's my impression that cars have become considerably safer, with driver deaths per mile driven declining significantly over the past 20 years. I believe that this is principally attributable to seat belts/air bags and overall improvements in frame and interior design. However, ABS and traction control seem to have the effect of encouraging drivers to drive faster than ever. What worries me is that as these systems proliferate and become both more numerous and more complex, that they will fail and drivers will not know how to respond.
