I dont know any reason for the sudden mistrust of technology. Every time you have entered a car and turned it on up to this point, you have faced far greater dangers than the article brings up.
Your trust in technology has to be pretty strong to get into a large steel/fiberglass/plastic object that is propelled by a series of controlled explosions under a hood about two feet in front of you. As you roll along speedily at 60 mph+ there are several other cars around you, weighing nearly a ton, doing the same thing. These are speeds and weights that will easily crush a person. Putting just a little bit more trust in automakers for something like blind spot checkers is not too much to ask when you already trust their products with your life so frequently.
