Collision avoidance overall makes you a worse driver as you have a false feeling of security. It's the same as people who live where drivers are supposed stop as soon as someone steps in the street, NEWS FLASH you may just step in front of a vehicle and get taken out just because you thought you were safe.

Slightly OT - but I'd like to see a study on whether the introduction of air bags and other safety equipment has resulted in a higher incidence of vehicle accidents, due to motorists feeling less vulnerable.

Blind spot sensors are the dumbest thing... Turn and look over your shoulder. I agree, all these drivers aids do is make people lazy.

Auto makers like blind spot sensors (and rear view cameras), because it frees them of the need to design vehicles with good rear visibility. Basically, they can design purely for style, compensating for any blind spots with technology.
