Society is breeding terrible drivers. Cars that park themselves, cars that brake for you, traction control. They are taking driving out of your hands and putting trust into a computer. I can see why people are afraid of 4 wheel drum brakes and link style steering systems because they think the next best thing is peace of mind. Personally, I'd rather be in control of my vehicle than not. Last winter my fiancé called me in a panic on her way home from work. She was on a busy highway when it started snowing. She said the car was shutting off on her. The traction control was shutting the engine off to the tune of 15mph on a busy highway!! She almost got clobbered til I told her how to shut it off.

Just yesterday a truck passed my shop on a rollback with the entire front end smashed in to the engine. That truck had 4 wheel disc brakes, abs, and rack and pinion steering. That didn't stop him from slidin into a pole on a damp road.
