And the advances they make like lane keeping and auto cruise control just make people even less aware of what they’re doing.

They’re not building cars to be driven anymore. They’re building them to sit in traffic.

I rarely use cruise control and the closest thing to traction control I have is a limited slip differential. All analog dials and a basic-ass double DIN radio that just functions as Bluetooth for the rare call.

I want my input to go straight to the wheels and I would rather die by my own hand than let a company’s negligence do it for me.
