Today Renault's emergency braking system saved my ass. A German driver went rogue with his travel trailer and my human reaction was not sufficient, so the car jammed on the brakes by itself.

>overtake with around 15 km/h difference
>I am already right next to his trailer
>he uses indicator and is already rolling on the center strip (he wanted to overtake another German with a travel trailer)
>I honk and break at the same time
>he pulls out even faster and crosses the strip
>I pull to the left, almost hitting the guardrail
>then his trailer swings on the left lane
>I see it coming closer and closer despite me braking
>all of a sudden the braking amplifies abruptly and I feel the seatbelt pressing the air out of my lungs
>the assistant saved my ass
I am grateful.
Not even mad at this guy, he seemed to be either tired of the long journey from the beach or maybe his wife took of with the scuba diving instructor.
However, all of this was so close that I had to check the car to be 100% sure there was no contact.

Is there anything more beta than relying on safety features that essentially boil down to autopilot?

Ending up dead because "muh driving skills" sounds worse to me.

Not even mad at a bad driver who could have killed you because he wasn't looking in his mirror?

I dunno man. Being mad at him just makes the whole thing worse for me. This is why I like imagining how much his vacation sucked.
I think he did see me and he did hear me (honking), but just tried to assert himself in that position.

Keep having your meltdown, pussy, at least we know im a better driver
>be me
>driving down freeway
>turn on cruise control
the only assistance i need because i can actually react to a situation rather than just panic brake slamming into a guardrail.

>Going on vacation with wife and kids
>On highway
