Driver assist features on new vehicles really bother me. It's not that I am anti-technology. Or that some things like the backing warning, or some kind of proximity warnings are unreasonable.
The thing is, all of these commercials for the cars in question, basically justify bad driving habits and distracted driving by saying, "it's okay to be a horrible irresponsible driver and endanger everyone else on the road, because we've got it covered." Your car will take care of it. Is it just me? Does this really bother anyone else? Personally I think it's going too far.

I'm just glad my car does not have the feature that turns the car off while you are waiting for the traffic light to change.

Personally don't like that feature myself but it's supposed to decrease carbon emissions in the air.
