I'm guessing things like auto-braking, blind spot sensors, lane sensors, etc.Woodie wrote:What crybaby feature is it missing? Only thing I can think of is backup camera.
This. It is a beautiful car, and I do miss mine but modern cars have more standard features ment for safety.BLyons wrote:I'm guessing things like auto-braking, blind spot sensors, lane sensors, etc.Woodie wrote:What crybaby feature is it missing? Only thing I can think of is backup camera.

I think it's the opposite effect overall. Cars get totalled now after medium level wrecks because of the cost of replacing eight airbags, some of which tore the fabric of the seats and headliner.KuroNekko wrote:If safety tech was really affecting insurance costs then a 2009 Toyota Camry should be more costly to insure than a 2019 Toyota Camry but is it?
Yep, fact. Don't forget about deformed support structures behind the dash bags for instance. Early days of dash airbags going off, that was a big one. Some cars didn't look bad at all and were totaled. Neighbor was an independent adjuster years ago. Airbags go off and EVEYTHING associated with the spent bag and trigger circuit must also be replaced. Seat cushions, sensors, and a few other items. Parts and labor for that alone is astronomical before you even get around to repairing the sheet metal, plastic, and paint.Woodie wrote:I think it's the opposite effect overall.
