LPT: Get these, but also when entering your car with snow on your boots sit in your seat with your legs out the door and “clap” your feet together a few times to knock the crap out of the treads before pulling your legs in.

AWD can be handy if it’s a good AWD system and the person understands how to use it. What most manufacturers are putting in their crossovers and AWD sedans are systems that barely do enough to even be called AWD, but do allow them to charge a premium and slap an AWD badge on the car to help sell it, and give already…

Other drivers are always going to be a wild card in driving safety but with stupid nannies like AEB, blind spot monitoring, and lane keep assist all you’re doing is exacerbating their inability to pay attention by making them comfortable thinking the car is doing it all for them when it can’t do half as good a job as…

Good point. And to add onto that: when someone does get sick the pout of pocket costs have skyrocketed.

This is true, it’s just that I tend to lump it in with wage stagnation.

There’s so many factors attributing to this that you’d have to be acting willfully blind to ignore them all. Wage stagnation, as the other 2 comments above mention, is just one of them. Heap on a healthy dose of crushing student loan debt, the fact that housing costs across the country are going through the fucking…

...the safety technology that has been rapidly developing

By posting this video without commenting on the abject recklessness of it (your little “notation” was BS and less than what was very necessary to be said about this) you are endorsing the behavior. As a car blog columnist, if you didn’t notice the flagrant disregard for public safety on display, you should change…

How the fuck am I looking at this in 2019?!?

I’m still not on board with infotainment touchscreens, but I’m also aware that they’re not going away in my lifetime. So if we must have them, can we at least insist that they not look like a fucking afterthought!?!

I’m so sorry, I assumed your level of reading comprehension to be at least that of a middle schooler. Please, let me try again.

A computer can react faster than a human.

It didn’t react before you could have if you were driving prudently and paying attention. You were either following too closely, or not paying as close attention as you claim; both of those scenarios are completely avoidable and that makes AEB unnecessary.

And Dodges. 

When did $375,000 become cheap?

I mean, Ford could do this and we could all just forget about the whole wealth inequality thing...

I would rather not get a single false positive and just be a responsible driver by paying attention. Responsible driving isn’t rocket science, you don’t need to be a genius to do it, you just need to pay attention to what you’re doing.

I am OK with the idea of the various auto-emergency braking systems.

My FE fits his description perfectly. Granted mine is a 48yo Ford 5.9L V8, not a 20yo Toyota.

Neutral: It’s sad how short-sighted a lot of companies have become.
