Then explain all of the mustang crashes. It's loaded with all the new safety features.

Passive safety systems like blind spot monitoring and backup cameras and cross traffic alert radar etc are good improvements.
Active safety features that make decisions for the driver are terrible, people who need them become even more distracted thinking they can be even more irresponsible and responsible drivers get fvcking annoyed by tech that gets in the way of how they want to drive. Just added rock rails to the wife’s Jeep, now our dd has steel surrounding 360 deg of the heep with the bumpers already done, any idiot who hits her/us is having a much worse day than we are. I get so tired of the attitude of let’s let tech save us from ourselves, it’s a responsibility cop out. |

I always joke with people that my first car, a 1976 Caprice Classic, had those safety systems even then, like brake assist. I tell them it was called the MYEYES system. And when the MYEYES system detected a vehicle slowing in front of me, it sent a signal to the MYLEG system to disengage the throttle and engage the brakes. The ones that don't catch on and are unsure if I'm serious crack me up.

I don't post much but nothing will be added options/electronics wise because even to change a small feature it costs a ton for tooling up.
Nissan is in trouble right now and no further plans to remake the Z will be on the table for awhile. Even the GTR is in trouble and it's the flagship. Unless management significantly changes, do not expect anything anytime within 5 years. Carlos was ballsy which is why the R35 even happened, but otherwise, Nissan is in the toilet right now. You're better off hoping for a faster 86/BRZ in the nearer future but I can understand if you have brand loyalty. |

There's the right way to add assistive tech, and the wrong way. SyncRev and ABS are examples of the right way. Lane correction assistance is the wrong way.
As long as the designers create and design assistive tech the right way, it makes sense in a sports car. P.S. blind spot monitoring is ugly AF but you're lying if you claim you've never almost sideswiped someone in your Z. Changing lanes is an act of faith in this car.
