Forward and rear collision warnings have saved me several times in 3 different cars, including slamming on the brakes as I was backing up and then a MUNI bus that I didn’t see flew by.

I’ve also been in 4 accidents that were my fault (one on the same street, a MUNI bus blocked my view of another car that had the right of the way) and 2 that weren’t but I wasn’t able to avoid them.

I will always buy a new car with the latest tech because I acknowledge I’m a below average driver and those warnings (inc the subtle “someone is in your blind spot” light) are helpful to me.

PS I also prefer physical knobs (especially on the steering wheel) and don’t have cars with giant touchscreens.

“I acknowledge I'm a below average driver”

(Brand New Sentence) big kudos, you’re rare, all of the rest of us know for a fact we’re above average drivers

The fix for your repeated at-fault accidents is not more mandatory technology in cars.

The fix is you should be taking MUNI more often and a defensive driving course. Maybe be forced to drive a manual transmission car through Pac Heights until you can't. Your insurance premiums must be crazy.

Simple, fundamental rule: never go when you can’t see. Follow religiously.
