Newmar offers the OnGuard Collision Mitigation system which may not even be an option now in some highline coaches, it also can be a rather expensive option. I haven't read up on all of the features but I'm curious of those that have used it what is your impression?
What got my interest is I'm in a rental car on a short trip back home from the coach and the Subaru I'm in has all this fancy stuff. Lane departure warnings, warning lights on mirrors when someone is in the blindspot, if on cruise control it will slow you down to keep distance from the vehicle in front as you approach it, etc. I'm on the fence between annoyance and safety.
What are your opinions on vehicles with these safeguards?
