There's nothing wrong with this. You guys are just projecting your own failings onto someone else.

Volvo's assited braking system tries to deal with some of this, but that only protects you from what is in front of you, and it has the possibility of screwing up and not working. It also doesn't protect you from stupid lane changes and failing to look where you are going because you got your eye on the computer screen.

Technology - the double edged sword.
