This didn't prevent me hitting a trailer draw bar and wrecking a door on the van. (The draw bar was above the sensors, so it didn't register). And yes, it was my fault for relying on this stupid gadget and no you couldn't judge the distance by sticking your head out the door.

Nothing will prevent an idiot being an idiot behind the wheel.
I see your point but we're looking at this from two different ends, you obviously see the times when the
technology fails where as I still believe that technology will avoid more scrapes and damage than it causes.

The gadgets themselves aren't the problem, it's the basic skill applied to them, ergo the gadgets are skill neutral.
