Once again car makers have added new gadgets to cars for people who do not know how to drive. Cruise control is bad enough as is evident every time some ass wipe runs up on your bumper refusing to hit the brakes. Yup, diving like a video game and as if there is no tomorrow. Now, we have things to futher take our attention off the road. New cars safer? What a laugh. It is dangerous out there. Cell phones, Video Screens in the middle of the dash (gps/nav. systems) Laser cruise, self parrallel parking, doo-dads to stop your car if you forget to look in front of you. The best bunch of crapola are those fools trying to invent self driving cars that follow sensors implanted into the roadway. Like nothing could go wrong there. I'd rather drive into a zero visibility fog bank. Those engineers watch too much Star Treck. Ranting I am yes. I have to work on all that kind of crap and listen to the owners whine about how much it costs to fix it. What did they expect? Here is an example: 2004 Sienna has a/f sensor codes. Fix is to r&r both sensors and re calibrate the ECM. Cost around $650, unless you have Laser Cruise. Then you have to also replace the brake actuator assembly for another $2800! Ha Ha Ha, now Laser cruise doesn't sound so great, does it? I hope old cars are never illegal, because I'll have to start taking the bus.
