Another Numpty Aid

Wandering across the road aimlessly? New technology will warn you that you're not paying attention

What with Sat Nav telling you where to turn, Lane Departure Warning deciding your steering, radar controlled cruise control determining your speed, and blindspot radar making sure you don't side-swipe anything, is there any more to driving now than simply setting the satnav, dialling 70 mph into the cruise control, and having a nice nap in the back, or maybe an in-car dolby digital cinematic experience or a conference call with your office?

PetrolTed - please tell me that you've been taking us for a merry ride and it's all just a big spoofy pack of lies... Pleeease!

Yaaaaaaaay at last when i get this bit of invaluable technology i can go to sleep at the wheel, and if i crash sue the manufacturer.

Hoooraayy to the end of responsibility and the beginning of the turnip-headed nanny state.
