Is too much technology a bad thing?

As the newer and more enhanced vehicles of today come fully equipped with such safety features as Bluetooth dialing, automatic braking, back-up cameras and more, Wired magazine asked an important question: "is too many safety features making driving less-safe?"

This question may have some merit as the magazine suggests that people may just become too comfortable with the technology, so much so that should something go awry they may not be prepared to handle the the scenario. Whereas a driver who's vehicle lacks the updates, would be forced to stay alert at all times.

"You want to have enough workload that you maintain an adequate load of performance,"Bryan Reimer, a researcher at the MIT AgeLab and associate director of the New England University Transportation Center, told the news source. "It's not whether you want to attend or you don't want to attend," Reimer said. "It’s fundamentally in the back of the brain that you need a certain amount of demand to sustain attention.”

If you drool over the newest technology in vehicles, you may want to consider keeping your current wheels until all the kinks are worked out. Consider a car loan refinance as a way to reduce your monthly bills, which could give you money to use to replace your brakes or tires.
