AI Assisted Cameras - The Next Level of Hell

What a bunch of #######.

 

I wonder if drivers try to avoid hitting the brakes hard to avoid tripping the Karen. And maybe hesitate just a bit making things worse.
It seems safety is not improving as much as all of the new widgets claim.
But there just isn't much profit in more training and more responsibility on the driver.

 

The people inventing/engineering these things need something to justify they’re pay.

 

I will also add, if all of these so called safety devices work then explain all the pileups, rear end crashes, red light running and roll overs.
I have been driving since 1976, I’m not saying there were no accidents but I have never seen the amount that there is now, especially these large pileups.
I believe all these gee whiz safety devices like lane departure and distance alerts give a feeling of dependency and complacency.
The only safety devices I remember working were common sense, seatbelts and a CB radio.

 

action verb:"SHUT UP!"

 

I've been driving just a little longer than you, like from 1973.
There is a higher volume of traffic now, and these days people tend to drive a lot faster and closer together than was the norm back then.
As in, more speeding and tailgating and aggressive driving.
Add in the distracted driving from cell phones and other things that simply did not exist back then.

 

Not really. They're tools you use sort of like a GPS. If you have bad habits they'll break you from them but the features can be turned off, so maybe not. If you don't use common sense with a GPS you'll end up in a bad situation. Same thing with lane departure, radar and these other safety features. If you're just not paying attention all the safety features in the world aren't going to prevent your f*** up.

 

Common sense is the best safety feature.. there seems to be a tremendous shortage of that anymore

 

That is all true, but I will also add that there was a lot more experienced drivers and more communication between drivers before all this technology.
I can remember hearing about a wreck or a road hazard 40 miles away from oncoming drivers. Today it’s radio silence.
Except from that idiot in New Mexico bragging about how great his radio is.

 

Things change. To be honest I prefer current traffic updates on a gps to information from the cb. Information from the cb was always subjective. A cluster situation that one driver figured you'd be better off to just drive through another would advise you to route around and you'd never really know who was right so it was always a crapshoot. With gps you clearly can see what routes save time instantly.
