haha. Though I do dislike how the worlds machines are loosing most of the direct metal to man feel it does make me feel a bit more safe as we all know the average driver is terrifying at the least.
Cars have gotten the best of me and I have gotten a few scares on the road in the past that I know if I didn't have any motorsport background I would have not been here. With this, the average joe who went to the DMV and got a piece of plastic is putting everyone at risk with a 3000+ pound machine.
The modern automobile maker is trying to prevent accidents in a way of aiding the inexperienced. Sure we can make brakes better, but if you do not know how to use them they are good as useless. Things like ABS, traction control, and new technologies are coming to aid the typical highway driver to a 'safer' road experience.
I do wish there was more R&D on the parts that most of us here enjoy such as brakes, tires, etc. but the masses don't agree- they are still trying to figure our what that vdc button does!
Maybe a gutted option of the safety features.. that is cheaper is the way to go..
