new safety systems

Dec 08, 2012 11:49

I think it is backward that the new safety systems they are making for vehicles claim to "connect the driver more with driving."  It is more likely a disconnect.
Unless when the system overrides the driver it yells, "WHAT ? ARE YOU STUPID ? NOT PAYING ATTENTION ?"
"YOU ARE AN IDIOT !"




If skills are no longer used, no longer taught, left up to machines, the skill is lost.
It can already be seen in the loss of cursive handwriting. Some kids now days can hardly write their signature.

Almost totally lost is wood hand carving.
When is the last time you saw a new hand carved chair ? A new office, den, or home with wood carving trim around the room ? A skilled carver can produce work much faster than you might think, so it would not take that long. They don't want the added expense, so they don't hire carvers anymore.

The new safety systems add to the cost, and are subject to error in unforeseen situations.
If they don't know how to drive anymore, to reliant on the safety systems, how will they drive when the system is in error ? 

drive by wire, lane keep assist, vehicle stability control, radar cruise control, anti-lock brake system
