Modern cars can brake on their own, keep themselves within lane markings, warn drivers about obstacles, and even park without human input. What once felt like science fiction is now a common feature in family SUVs and hatchbacks. Automakers market ADAS as the future of road safety, and the numbers support many of those claims. Studies have shown that automatic emergency braking and lane departure warning systems significantly reduce collision rates. Yet, another trend has quietly emerged. Many drivers are beginning to trust technology more than their own instincts. Videos of people sleeping behind the wheel or using their phones while "the car is driving itself" have become increasingly common. The question is no longer whether ADAS works. The real question is whether constant assistance is slowly weakening the driving skills that humans spent generations mastering.
