Every person on the planet believes they’re an above average driver. No one thinks they need these types of safety features in their car because they’re a safe driver and the problem is every other driver.
It terrifies me that people are so oblivious to their own flaws that they would willingly disable features such as AEB if they could. I’m extremely thankful for regulations that prevent such life-saving safety features from being disabled.
An average person has 3-4 car crashes in a lifetime. Having 1 minor accident in 40 years of driving is above average.
The only time I ever came close to having a crash is when lane assist tried to drive in the dividers on a highway with construction going on, so lane assist is the first to go in a new car.
The average person also has their wrecks at the beginning and end of their driving. Having 1 while in late 50s to 60s isn't that unlikely, either. And sets you on the average track.
