I find I'm even more aware of my surroundings when I drive with these safety features.

When I don't have to pay as much attention to my speed, distance to the car in front, etc I get to spend more time predicting what my fellow motorists are about to do in ways I know my car isn't able to easily compensate for.

So when you don't have to pay attention to speed and position of cars around you then you can spend more time predicting other motorists?

What are you basing your predictions on if you don't even know the distance to the one in front of you?

He doesn't have to pay attention to actively controlling speed and distance to car in front of him.

It's really obvious which of the commenters in this thread haven't used a car with ADAS (like you). I don't mean that offensively. All the people here saying that ADAS makes driving safer aren't delusional idiots. As the HN rule says, perhaps we should accept others' opinions in good faith rather than shitting on tech we've never used.

I'm sure there are plenty of statistics available out there. Unlike many believe you can't determine reality by posting to social media.
