Circle of Safety

I like my cars simple. One reason is because they’re easier to work on, but another is that the kids who are learning to drive will learn to be better drivers if the cars do less for them.
Here it is, illustrated:
Let’s use blind-spot detection as an example. If the car always tells a kid when there’s a car in his blind spot, he won’t feel the need to check his blind spot himself and thus he won’t develop the good habit of doing so. Conversely, if he learns to drive with the needs to check his blind spot before changing lanes, he will develop that habit.
Kids, or anyone for that matter, need to get the good habits when they start learning to drive. It’s a lot harder to gain new habits once the subject has been learned.
There are a number of other safety features that have been added to vehicles lately, and they all work fairly well in that they accomplish their goals.
It’s not limited to vehicles either – there are other examples such as tamper-proof outlets. You can’t always protect people from their own foolishness.
