I have no doubt it's going to get worse. A week or so ago here in upstate New York, a State Trooper caught up with a car that was reported for driving erratically on an interstate.

The woman inside had her face pressed against the window... asleep. Her lane correction assisted steering kept her alive for six or seven miles. Then it took her off on an exit ramp, and she hit the corrugated strips along the edge, and she woke up.
