You should be more concerned with what I'm doing bluetooth than whether or not I let the car keep a safe following distance from the car in front of me since if I'm in a heated discussion with my ex on the phone, I'm paying a lot less attention to the road than I should be, and I'd be better off letting the car do most of the driving.
None of the driver assistance features I listed above allow hands-off driving, if ACC fails, my car will slow down, or maybe get too close to the car in front of me, but since I've already got my hands on the wheel and looking ahead, it's not a big deal.
The poor state of automation for most cars actually ensures better driver attention -- LKAS works around 80% of the time on the freeways. If it worked 99% of the time, I'd be less focused on driving.
But even looking at airplanes, even if automation is implicated in some portion of accidents, is that worse than if pilots have to actively fly the entire time and end up exhausted by the end of a cross country flight when it comes time to land and they need to be at their best.
Please drive your car.
I don't care what choices you make wrt bluetooth or heated seats or iphone integration ... but if you can't be bothered to drive the car then perhaps a different transport option would be a better choice for you.

"... as we look at this accident history what we find is that in 68% of these accidents, automation dependency plays a significant part ..."
"... automation dependent pilots allowed their airplanes to get much closer to the edge of the envelope than they should have ..."
