 * Michigan - 9 of 10 drivers want assist technology, but fewer than half want self-driving cars

Detroit,MICH,USA -Autoblog, by George Kennedy -Sep 2nd 2012: -- Do you want a car with the latest in lane-departure warning, parking sensors, and the like? ...  According to the study, 60 percent of drivers blame blind spots for accidents, while 40 percent are actually afraid of parallel parking. Additionally, nearly half of the drivers surveyed have admitted to falling asleep while driving or know someone who has. The study was conducted by market-research firm Penn Schoen Berland, and found that while drivers want driver-assist technologies, many are not aware of some that are already available. Since Ford was the automaker to commission the study, it was quick to point out that the 2013 Fusion offers 10 such driver aids, such as lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring and a rear view camera, among other features. It should also be noted that many of these features are also available on new Nissan, Chevrolet, Honda, and Toyota vehicles.
