I was also trained to pay attention to the fucking road.

Humans suck at monitoring (see Asiania flight 214)
These systems are here to stay. Moreover, they have found these systems to contribute to safety---beyond expectations.
No matter how good you are at driving, you are not as good as these collision systems.
