Yep, the animals with death wishes are the tricky ones!
In all seriousness, it seems they're still working on getting the cars to respond consistently to
stationary targets, small or large:
But the capabilities of this automatic/predictive safety stuff will only get better and better.
I drove a neighbour's car with "cross traffic alert" and was pleasantly surprised. It would vibrate part of the seat so the appropriate butt cheek would tingle if there was danger lurking in the blind spot when reversing or when activating the turn signal.
(So I drove around with my turn signals on constantly! Thank you. I'm here all week.)
Since we're all above average drivers, I'm sure none of us needs this stuff. But everyone else should have it.
