That shit saved my car's ass at least 2 times and ours once. Never interfered in normal driving (I'm no agressive driver though). This should definitely be forced upon manufacturers. But without relaying the cost onto the consumer.
The catch is these systems are expensive to build so they can't be free. There's also a huge difference between the system that brakes for another vehicle vs the one that stops because a toddler is behind the car. The latter is extremely expensive.
Sure they are. But considering that my car costs 7000 more since I bought it 2yrs ago, I'd say fuck you manufacturer. Take the extra profits you make, for no other reason than greed, for that. They will survive.
