An adaptive cruise control here, a Lane Keeping Assist there, a blind-spot warning system somewhere else – might the number of assistants in modern vehicles be too much of a good thing?

Quite the contrary. Anyone genuinely serious about Vision Zero, the goal of ending motoring accidents, should be in favor of electronic assistance and of automation. After all, failure is human, and it is estimated to be responsible for 90-plus percent of all crashes. Systems can help to prevent that, or can mitigate the consequences. However, the present way that these helpers provide information and notifications to drivers is not always executed in the best possible way.
