Early in the days of air bags, Brock Yates suggested that rather than
an air bag, each vehicle should be equipped with a shotgun barrel in
the steering wheel column, aimed, cocked, and loaded, then use the
air bag impact sensor to perform a darwinian extraction of yet another
incompetent driver.

I'll have to hurry and buy myself a Wrangler before its too late!
"Models in the current lineup that offer stability control include
the Jeep Wrangler"
Does this mean that the '05 Wranglers are already ruined by this? =p
Just the other night I saw this statement about new automotive
features:
"Automatic braking will add power to the brakes when it sense you
are not applying enough brake pressure to make the stop"
How is the car going to read my mind to know just how soon I want to
stop? I'll push the pedal just as hard, or soft, as I want, thank you
very much.

I don't know, but my BroncoII never rolled, even when I would stomp on
the brakes to skid through a snow-covered turn (not in traffic, just
by myself).

That could be the most lethal thing ever, especially anywhere where there is
significant snowfall. Up here in the prairies of Canada, if my car tries to
slam on the brakes on ice I might as well enjoy the life flashing before my
eyes cuz I'm a goner. Computers are a long way from being even remotely as
sophisticated as our brains ...let human judgement exercise the most control
and allow safety "features", such as air bags and seat belts, to help us out
when our brains fail.
