GB I think you worry too much, modern tech I know, most people do not like on motors, but I have found has come in handy once or twice.
collision mitigation system that some motors have, actually prevented me getting a written off car, sundridge ave bromley has a mini roundabout which one exit goes into a blind steep hill,as you come to the roundabout you can only see one car waiting(if there is any) the rest are open.
I started to cross and did not see a Merc travelling at speed down the hill, but didnt slow down for the roundabout untill it was by the front nearside wing, the CMS braked for me and stopped me, the Merc went up the kerb straightened back up and accelerated away
I discovered my dashcam had a faulty SD card in it so didnt record the incident otherwise I would have reported the car,though It happened so quick all I see was a white flash
Not sure what would have happened in foggy conditions, possibly wrote my car off if CMS didnt work?
