800ish more fancy tech "safety" features and even more death. Fuck the "we will protect you" bullshit. It's way cheaper if I protect myself, but that option doesn't exist. "Look! My car flashes and beeps when another car passes me on a city lane!". That's not assistance, that's a distraction.

I was talking about this with my wife. If it beeps when I'm in reverse and a car is 50 feet behind me then it's only training me to ignore the exact same beep that it makes when a person is approaching from my blind spot on foot.
