Hi
Isn't the squeal from the cat warning enough?

[quote="roverdriver"]I agree with you, peterwpg. It does concern me that we are creating a breed of 'car guiders' who lack basic skills as drivers.
When teaching family members to drive, one of the techniques that I tried to instill was to drive on country roads, and NEVER use the brakes.
Hi RD, surely that's what the left foot is for on approach? It also stops them from changing gear in the middle of the corner! Cheers,JD.

It gets worse
You may have read how a Tesla driver in Florida was killed while he was driving in self-drive mode when a white tractor trailer pulled out in front of him. Apparently the car wasn't able to differentiate between the truck and the bright sun.
Another idiot Tesla driver crashed while driving in auto mode on a country road. He said the car was warning him in English and he only spoke Mandarin
