And now we wait for the Hollywood movie.

This is close to my thought. The *last* thing we need is a safety feature that allows people to drive worse thinking that they can rely on it to do the job for them. "Oh, I don't need to pay attention, the car will brake for me!".

I think you've got it, most people will rely on it once they see what it does. We are inherently lazy. Hell, I'd probably try it out a few times, or show it to a friend. That's the exact wrong thing to do.

I hope it'll be more of a last resort kind of feature, similar to Honda's Collision Mitigation Bracking System (CMBS). It'll brake HARD at the very last second to avoid a collision. I believe Jeremy Clarkson did a segment on it with a Honda Accord Wagon.

Nice plan. Nothing beats motorsports road tripping through Euroland, and the Amsterdam-Monaco axis is especially excellent.
