As it is, driver training in this country is very poor, but luxury brands and even the likes of Honda and Hyundai would do well to run courses to teach car owners and drivers on ADAS, how to switch it off and its usefulness..
Believe me when a pedestrian in a dark jacket crosses a poorly-lit road at night, not an uncommon sight in Delhi winters, or when you encounter a black bovine in the middle of the night, collision avoidance systems are really handy in preventing an accident...
