Cbaber's Poor Mans Car Safety Tech:
1. Blind Spot Monitoring - Learn to adjust and use your mirrors. Maybe even look over your shoulder once and awhile.
2. Lane Keep Assist? Put down your phone, stop beating your kids, and pay attention to driving.
3. Mercedes-Benz: Attention Assist (<<< love that name lol) aka sleep detector - Don't drive tired, drink coffee, have a friend drive.
4. Ford Foot activated lift gate - Open your hatch BEFORE you go pick up stuff, use a grocery cart instead of 2 armfuls of groceries, have kids so they can carry crap for you
5. Automatic headlights/wipers - Pay attention to your driving conditions, flip a freakin switch

1. Wait that's what those mirrors are for? not for make-up?
2. But wait, I have to send this one last text.
3. I couldn't even fall asleep if I were to drive a Mercedes, I'd be so intrigued by all of the different buttons I can push.
4. This is technologically advanced... in the show room floor, then they forget about it 2 months later
5. just let's the computer have more control of the car.
