I've dealt with grid locked rush hour traffic, and it just stinks. I've also dealt with 2 hour commutes one way, and it doesn't matter how fun the drive is, it is just brutal doing it day after day. As it is now, I'm 2 minutes from work if it is snowing or raining and I need to drive, or if I'm running late or being lazy. I can walk there in under 10 minutes. And I can take a nice quick 15 minute drive into the middle of absolute nowhere for some driving entertainment. The only downside for me is my last commute I could literally see my workplace from out my apartment window. |

lol My vote, get rid of all the stay-in-your-lane beeps and nannies. But add a deafening alarm/siren/electical shock if the light turns green and you continue to sit there looking at your phone. |

Oh i get it, like I said I'm the oddball out on this one. I've said before I probably should have been a long haul trucker, I just love being behind the wheel (or yoke, or handebars) of a vehicle.
I commuted 40 miles a day in DC traffic, about 40% of the time on my Honda GL650 for 4 years. Loved every minute of it.

I was thinking the same! It would probably hound me for braking too early. |

Whoa, I just got back from DC and don't recall any motos there or Arlington. You're brave but OTOH lots of DC drivers come from countries where motos are more common and may look out for them. J/K, my Lyft drivers were either homicidal or suicidal, tough to tell which. |

I've emailed Australasian New Car Assessment Program with my question. Given they're the authority who looks after car safety performance in Australia I am looking forward to their reply. I am guessing it's going to be political in nature.
I'll let you know when I get their response.

As an aside I like the blind spot monitoring in the new Corolla, just a little yellow light in the side view mirror. A fairly unobtrusive assist for every day.

Studies have shown that the average person does not possess enough multitasking skills to be able to drive, yet we allow them to anyway. Auto manufactures are under continual pressure to make vehicles safe for the average drive.

Not sure I care what studies say, I mean scientifically bumblebees shouldn't be able to fly, but they don't seem to have any problem with it when they set their minds to it.

I always heard it was because they were so ugly the Earth just rejects them.
