A little Threadromancy here for something I've been turning over in my mind for a while:
Cars get safer every year. I'm not talking about crash survivability, but accident avoidance. Disc brakes, rack and pinion steering, tuned suspension*, anti-lock braking, and stability control have all made cars easier and safer to drive. However, the rate of accidents hasn't changed. The safer the car becomes, the more indestructible the driver feels, the dumber he drives.
What happens in this story when people start to feel protected by these two being together? Will they start doing dumber and dumber things? Will they end up negating the good caused by these two being together?
*Not the best phrase for here, but I hope you get the point
