Really if you can't spot a stationary lorry whilst doing 30mph why would you expect your car to spot it?! I find it difficult to trust my cruise control and tend to drive down the M1 with my foot hovering over my brake pedal anyway... and a couple of times I thought the radar hadn't spotted the car stopping in front so hit the pedal myself.
But I have to disagree somewhat with toxophilus - I do think my DSTC is useful. And ABS is just a technical solution to a manual braking technique, which most drivers no longer learn. EBD I'm sure has its moments.
However auto-wipers seem a bit lazy - I have them but don't bother with them as I can tell when there's lots of water on the windscreen. But I bet someone said the same about self-cancelling indicators!!! My old Citroen CX didn't have them, just a rocker switch, and I coped with it, so why do I need them now?! LOL
