Saw this add last night and totally agree. Are people really that bad at driving now, that it's become acceptable to admit "well yeah I was half asleep/not concentrating while I was driving, but thank goodness I was in a Mercedes, so now I can carry on not concentrating/sleeping or whatever I was doing, cos my car will just save me every time"
