It's similar to how you can tell two brothers are related, even though they are quite different overall.

Subaru could have a bash at sheet metal design. I’m sure it would turn out just fine.
Heh heh. |

Too add to my wishlist:
Why hasn't radar (or other follow distance based) cruise control become more widely available? Without it cruise control is basically useless on even a slightly busy highway and it's been out for ages in mid-upper tier luxury cars. Seems like most of the cost would be in development but the actual components shouldn't be exorbitantly expensive. |

Anyone can have a fender bender but the amount of people "driving" while completely oblivious to their surroundings is insane... |

Speaking of nannies, multi-stage traction/stability control off without the need for a pedal dance! Or for that matter default to the 'button-held-down' setting and when you actually depress the button then turn it off completely. |

As you said my biggest complaint about the whole thing is also that it will take people that are already distracted and let them pay even less attention than they already do. It all works pretty good but it is not infallible so people that trust it too much may be in for a surprise.

I've personally seen this, or at least that is what it appears to be. There is a 4-way stop on my normal commute that sometimes gets backed up. On more than one occasion I've spotted a car in the line that is obviously using the auto-braking to manage through the line while they do something else. The car will stop abruptly while their head is down, they'll look up, start the car rolling forward and look back down, process repeats. Fortunately they have never been directly behind me.
