    Backup cameras are worth every cent they cost just to prevent running over kids who aren't tall enough to be seen in the rear view mirror.

    Tesla gave a lot of useful safety tech a bad name by deploying a half baked system in a overconfident way, the stuff other manufacturers are putting out is legitimately useful safety tech. It's expensive for now, but it will get cheaper and save a lot of lives.

    Forward collision detection systems slow down cars enough to prevent fatalities, lane warning systems prevent accidents from drivers who fall asleep by shaking the steering wheel and beeping. Adaptive cruise control can prevent pileups because it can quickly react to dense traffic slowing.
