That was my point exactly, and this really kind of bugs me. They have all these safety features on cars now, and in my opinion they have gone way beyond the point of dimminishing returns....that is to say they have actually made things more dangerous. The average person gets into a new car, and it has all these features.

Sorry for the rant.
