> The point being, once everyone has this thing in their car and everyone is being watched while they are driving, everyone will be marked as an idiot.

I tell this to anyone who rages: You drive and meet a LOT of people on your way. You don't make a lot of mistakes, but you make a few at least every drive.

Now given that you meet a lot of people you are most likely seeing a ton of mistakes by people. But individually they are not really making many mistakes.

Sure some people are horrible, but not all. And often the horrible ones are behind you.

And also, no matter how "safe" you are, it only takes 1 mistake to kill a person. Example, yesterday I was driving, a guy went nuts behind me and almost killed a motorcyclist. I saw that and it distracted me long enough to almost not notice the car that short-stopped in front of me. Literally 2 more seconds and it would have been a wreck. And I consider myself a safe driver, but it only takes one moment of distraction.
