    The catch is these systems are expensive to build so they can’t be free. There’s also a huge difference between the system that brakes for another vehicle vs the one that stops because a toddler is behind the car. The latter is extremely expensive.

      Sure they are. But considering that my car costs 7000 more since I bought it 2yrs ago, I’d say fuck you manufacturer. Take the extra profits you make, for no other reason than greed, for that. They will survive.
