My thoughts exactly.

This is a horrible idea for a bunch of reasons.

Real driver assist systems are tested for each car for millions of miles before release.

I can imagine this as a toy on a recreational vehicle like an ATV, but it's outright reckless to put this on a real car.

Except this works so much better than the stock driver assist on most cars.

Maybe it does.

No way to tell without actual testing. As a giant obvious thing, if the adhesive isn't applied right it'll probably fall down during your commute .

At a minimum it should be screwed in or something.

Like I said, it's a cool toy. Put it on an ATV, not a real car.
