Fair enough. Well, I was once driving the companies BMW and the
ABS etc. saved me when I came to a road that was iced over. I had
no experience at all with the car. However, if BMW didn't have
that stupid rear-wheel drive, I would have been fine anyway.
Front-wheel drive is much safer, especially in wet and icy
conditions. The danger is that people overestimate the power of
these technologies and rely too much on them (which leads to
dangerous situations on the road). I'm glad I learned how to
drive when cars were still cars and not little space ships.
