I’ve twattered about this, and blogged on the subject before, but really, isn’t the new Ford Focus taking it a bit far?

This bit kinda scares me. I’ve mentioned car tech several times before, and I’m a firm believer in the theory that as cars insulate the driver from the physics of it all more, the more they rely on the electronics. I do think ABS is a good thing overall- though it can actually *increase* stopping distance in some circumstances- but ESP remains for me something that may stop someone having a big off, but if they get into that situation, they need a physics lesson fast.
