I bought a new car last summer. I just want to pay tribute to two of the greatest inventions in the history of automobiles. I’m speaking of the backup camera and lane change assist.
My peripheral vision isn’t as sharp as it used to be. I’m also not the greatest driver. With lane change assist, I don’t have to worry about running into a car that is in my blindspot when I change lanes. The backup camera helps ensure that I don’t have to worry about hitting someone while backing out of a parking space or my driveway.
I still pay attention and check my lane and my rear view mirror, but these upgrades are truly life changing.
You know you’re getting old when the “hot” upgrades on your car aren’t the best speakers, or the fanciest interior, but the latest safety features.
