A better use of this technology would be to use it in conjunction with sensors on the vehicle to vibrate the steering wheel if the vehicle is getting too close to another vehicle, or if the vehicle starts to get too close to the painted lines on the road, then it could start to vibrate with increasing intensity the closer it got to the lines to help keep the driver on the road.

They have the second one... they're called rumble strips. The whole car shakes if you go over the white line, and it works with all vehicles, new and old.

In some places they even play tunes.

But this is just one of the things that the auto-industry is actually re-introducing after a couple decades of making cars where the driver is more and more insulated from the driving by assisted everything.

In older cars you used to know how you were going without looking at the dash, because the car sounded and felt a certain way. In modern cars, when the speed blindness gets you, it's like playing a video game. The steering wheel feels no different, you can't hear the engine or the tires, the gearbox is robotic so you don't know what gear you're on, and the active suspension keeps the car perfectly level until you're upside down in the ditch. The most warning you'll ever get is a little blinking light on the dash that means you're hitting the ABS/ESP/CIA/FBI limits
