I think it gives people a false sense of invincibility, which is why they run modern cars off the road.

Their is no way in the world that in normal driving conditions you can run a modern car off the road. Even a humble C300 4Matic I have done horrible things to and the computers saved it. You can drive such a car at the posted speed limit, and crank the wheel over without hitting the brakes to make a turn and the computers and 4 matic will keep it on the road.

Yet people drive these things off the road every morning on the way to work snarling traffic everywhere. My conclusion is either they are not paying attention, or they think they are invincible and go so much faster than conditions can permit that no computer trickery can save them.

Pretty much the bottom line is people are idiots and its the burden of the intelligent to have to deal with it.
