I worry it will be the opposite in the short run... everyone learns to drive in new cars with fancy tech, then go out and buy a banger with brakes nowhere near as good...
Sam_w-
You're probably right.
I'm clearly very inexperienced but the difference between even my 2015 fiesta and 2017 Ateca is nuts. Sure, the Fiesta is easy to drive but the Ateca virtually drives itself and the brakes are in a different league.

I noticed this driving the polo, coming from only having driver a ~2016 Fiat for 3 years. Nearly rear ended 4/5 cars on my way home because I kept forgetting how shit the brakes are on a 20 year old car

I misjudged my braking in horrendous fog on the A12 this winter and the front sensor saved me from a collision. I've only had a license for ten months or so. Saved me from a nasty shunt. I wonder if we'll see new driver accidents drop as the tech becomes more ubiquitous.
