my friend is a terrible driver

Okay so one of my friends at uni has this super decked out last gen Camry that she got from her parents. It has everything. 360° camera, automatic braking, all the beeping sensors, blind spot stuff, cross traffic alert, literally every safety thing you can think of. And honestly I think it’s ruined her as a driver 💀 Like she completely relies on the car to do everything. She’ll back out of spots without even glancing behind her, just trusts the sensors. Merges without checking mirrors. It actually freaks me out a little when I’m in the car with her. I’ve tried casually mentioning it (like “hey maybe check your mirror lol”) but she always gets defensive and says the car will warn her if something’s there. Has anyone else had a friend like this?? It’s wild how much she trusts the tech over her own eyes 😭
