A guy I know said the tech is so good you let your guard down.
He said there are days on 101 around 4:30 when he puts his sunglasses on and closes his eyes. He knows he taking a calculated risk. He's in bumper to bumper traffic.
He also said their were times he let the car drive home, with one eye open because he was tired.
With tech that good, I can see where drivers let their guard down compared to a guy in a old truck with a clutch. A vehicle he knows inside and out. A vehicle that needs his constant attention because of the sketchy alignment done years ago. Plus--he just can't afford a fender bender, or worse an ever increasing frantic fine. Hell--the stress of the old car might keep him more alert? Kinda like being in the woods when you know it's your wits, or a bear might tear you apart?
