I'll be sitting here watching some mindless entertainment when one of those commercials comes on, and I always have an uncontrollable urge to yell, "Dumbass!"

LOL Yep I agree. I have zero use for the lane assist but the cruise, blind spot indicators, and rear obstacle alarm are handy. The auto collision avoidance works very well and is not as intrusive as I thought it would be (I tried it with some boxes like I saw in a video). The sad part is that the people that could use these features the most will just start paying even less attention since the car really does watch out for you. It truly is the distracted driving package and I can see it preventing a pile of accidents. At least until people stop paying any attention at all that is.
