"I am glad to have those features, but relying on them too heavily can be dangerous."

Perhaps at present, but the most dangerous strategy is relying solely on the unreliable human being behind the wheel as technical fixes for that unreliability become available. We know that this leads to tens of thousands of deaths per year and terrible suffering of many. Every day on my short commute I see multiple acts of driving stupidity and lack of skill/understanding.  I look forward to living long enough to see these individual acts of incompetence and selfishness curtailed by technology.
