Cool idea but I also wonder if the rider was wearing a helmet at the time too judging by his friend's not wearing one.

That's pretty bad too. The one I was talking about is kinda like an interview with a bunch of fucktards thankful their car is smarter than they are.

"I didn't notice the truck in front of me stopped short, but my car did". Holy shit.

They need to make it true to life. " I was texting my sister about last night when my car bailed me out." Basically MB is telling everyone you don't even need to pay attention any more. Our cars will save you.
