Comment on Emergency Braking Will Save Lives. Automakers Want to Charge Extra for It
Majorllama@lemmy.world 2 days agoShitty driver that has no accidents. No tickets. Reduced insurance due to how safe of a driver I am. Only person in my entire extended family with absolute zero accidents or even minor fender benders.
Yup I must be a really shitty driver.

Just like a great ball player can be the GOAT and have no championship rings you can be a bad driver and haven’t had an accident yet.
Again all of this starts because you literally describe taking unnecessary risks while claiming to be “better” than others around you which you cannot actually know.

I don’t think it’s a massive leap in logic to claim I am a better driver than most when I haven’t hit anything and I can park between two lines correctly. Most drivers have no clue where the edges of their vehicles are and they seem to really struggle with parking correctly.
And you have really latched onto an incredibly specific example that I gave of where a car automatically braking would cause an accident where there otherwise would not be an accident. I’m sure I could have explain that rare hypothetical better in my original comment, but it was just the first example I could come up with where an automatic brake would be an issue.
It’s not something I do often just for the hell of it. It’s something that has come up on a few very rare occasions that I identified as a scenario where having the car automatically brake would be bad. You seem to think that’s a maneuver I’m pulling daily when I can assure you it is not.
