I love it. I have a courier business and spend (well, used to) more time in my car then in bed. People space out, and/or just do dumb things. Just the human experience thing. Last summer I got stuck on a country road that was backed up. When I finally got close to the cause, a little girl was laying on the grass, face down. The woman who hit her was crying hysterically, talking to the trooper. Don't know how it happened and really don't want to. The vision stuck in my head well enough already.
Advances like this are great. If it saves one kid or dog or even an insurance claim, cool.
That being said, I am in total agreement with you, Tom and Allen. The first and best safety device in a car is the operator.
Cool read and thanks for posting Kioshk!
