Nett result those aids reduce the skill level of already poor drivers even more.
ABS
then drive in the wet with wider tires thinking the car's ABS can save em in every situation
Traction control
Get stuck in 2cm of snow because they don't turn it off
Intelligent lane assist
so they can check facebook while driving
Intelligent speed assist and adaptive cruise control
So they don't have to bother with adjusting speed in busy traffic
Emergency brake assist
So they can tail gate more
Pedestrian Auto Emergency Braking
pay less attention in urban areas
Cars with DRL lights, set to auto
Drive without rear lights in dusk/fog/snow/low hanging sun
Idiots playing games relying on autopilot is pretty much the end stage of all that.
Anybody caught doing that should have his drivers license revoked for the rest of his life. : Get a f'ing cab cause you ain't a driver.

Mr. v. Damme, you have to quit it with these reasonable observations....you are just making too much sense.
I could only add to your list in that I see some twit driving a 400 bhp high performance vehicle weaving in and out of traffic, I am sure wondering why there are little twitches here and there as the safety systems correct his idiotic driving skills. My 911 won't have 300 bhp, I have spent most of my life in a high performance car and I STILL think that I am barely up to standard to drive my car at any sort of high performance level.
Personally I think there needs to be a higher class of licence required for buying one of the new very high performance machines....they are truly beyond the skills of an average driver.....as the many YouTube video's on "exotic car crashes" bears witness...
