It occurs to me to wonder how many people there might be who have

I would argue that less have become more aware. I would argue that the
technology has created a (false) confidence in them which encourages them to
simply trust in the technology, and drive them further away from really
understanding the limitiations and the dynamics of driving a car. Look at
how it works today - they simply stand on the brake with the trust that the
car will take care of the situation. They don't even understand why pulsing
or pumping a brake is of value.


I even wonder how many drivers know what ABS is. ;-)
