More things that didn't need fixing? Loads more things to go wrong? The European Commission wants the following implemented by 2021 for new cars:-
• Advanced emergency braking – a system to automatically bring the car to a halt if it detects a crash is about to occur
• Alcohol interlock installation – the ability to place a breathalyser device in the car’s ignition, preventing serial drink-drivers from getting behind the wheel
• Drowsiness and attention detection – detects when the driver’s attention begins to waver and warns them to take a break
• Accident data recorder – much like an aircraft ‘black box’, this records data such as speed, GPS location and time in the event of a collision
• Emergency stop signal – automatically flashes the hazard warning lights in the event of an emergency stop
• Improved seatbelts
• A larger head impact zone with safety glass for greater cyclist and pedestrian protection in a crash
• Intelligent speed assistance – a system that can be overridden to limit speed based on traffic sign recognition
• Lane keeping assist – alerts the driver if they stray out of their lane
• Greater occupant protection in the side impact test.
• Reversing camera or sensors

It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.
