Airbags, ABS, Traction Control, ACE compatibility, stronger survival 
space, better fuel economy, more comfortable...

There was much wailing a gnashing of teeth from "purists" when these 
things came in. "But it's not really driving!" some would say. "It lets

cars, such is their choice.

Today, overall, the roads are much safer. Change is good.
