    Amazing tech never fails to amaze me

    This takes a bit of watching, but it carries a great message.

    It was the no head check to the right when he pulled out that I noticed.

    Yep, I suspected something like what was going to happen, and when he did not look to the right, I started wincing right away.

    I see it like an early warning of what has happened to cars of today. People now rely on auto headlights to dip their lights, adaptive cruise to maintain a safe following distance, reversing cameras and sensors to tell them how close they can get to the fence behind them.

    All these things are good, but they only do what we should be able to do ourselves.

    The trouble is, if people rely too much on these advanced driver safety systems they forget how to do the stuff the systems do.

    Or, at least, they stop doing them automatically. Like head checks.

    I first used that video years ago as a training aid in presentations. And if anything, it's become even more relevant.
