And what happens when the technology doesn't work and we are so reliant on it that we aren't sufficiently trained to react manually? You mean I may actually have to turn my head around when backing up?? Or pay attention and hit the brake pedal????

Yes,
We are all domed... domed I tell you!
I surprised no one in the car industry can't see the huge lawsuit/train wreck this inevitably will cause, there will be a system failure and someone will run someone off the road "but the car didn't warn me that there was a vehicle was next to me!" someone will be automatically parking and a child will run behind the car... I think you get my drift.
I know this sounds luddite but I would not be surprised to see a anti technology trend in the future... oh we will still have faster/smarter tech... but also cars with stick shifts and crank windows... and cell phone that you just call and text with.
