    Yep. And unlimited data plans. Generally forward collision avoidance systems are only effective at preventing catastrophic crashes at initial speeds below 45 mph.

    70+ mph and head down half the time, no amount of crash avoidance technology can help in those situations. To even suggest that perhaps this technology is contributing to severe crash increases is just dumb.
