I’ve had the various safety systems in Cadillac MB and BMW. I’m not impressed, my butt vibrating isn’t needed to know I’ve changed, or fudged, lanes.
The rear design and corresponding rear view in our truck/crossover/high-beltline sedan world is appalling. My ’17 Golf has excellent rearward visibility for a modern car, but it sure as hell isn’t my 88 Acura Legend. I still swivel my head and check, but it’s hard to see out the back of most vehicles anymore.
Next, I contorted my body to get into the tiny driver’s footwell. Once there, I removed two nuts holding the master cylinder to the firewall (one shown in the picture below, and one on the opposite corner hidden from view).
Recognizing differences goes both ways. If you want the safety systems, you can buy them for your own vehicle. Just don’t passively force them on me and others through regulation and legislation.
I think we can distinguish between those devices that can help us do what we cannot do for ourselves, like cross traffic backup sensors, and devices that assume that we are not doing what we should be doing, like lane departure sensors.

The repair estimate is about $3,000, and appears to involve repair or replacement of the header panel, front bumper and end caps, and fenders:
“GM is basically just refusing to acknowledge the problem and potential safety problem it poses,” he told me, mentioning how badly it could have gone had he had his head poking out of the window to spot himself on the trail. “[Airbags are] certainly just like an explosion going off next to your head,” he said about his first experience with such a passive restraint

B) On the twisty 2 lane by my brother’s house, I was not going much more than the speed limit, maybe 45 in a 35 in an absolutely minimally populated and minimally driven (at almots midnight) back road. I’d have seen any oncoming cars by their headlights, and I was never entering the oncoming lane, just putting a tire on either the center divider or the edge line to carve a cleaner corner. The system absolutely freaked out about this.
I was under the impression that certain companies that worked with manufacturers could have their products covered under standard warranties (like Roush for example). With the introduction of these new safety systems, many of those same aftermarket suppliers were no longer able to provide that even on models that had been previously allowed to be covered under warranty (ie Tacoma/Tundra)
Since the work has been done up front, there are no additional emissions tests required once the construction is complete. This approach also ensures the engine and aftertreatment system work together and last over the life of the vessel. Under the Scheme A approach, the order process is unchanged for the customer using a local Cummins distributor as a single point of contact for the IMO Tier 3 system.
