After 13 Corvettes, I've scraped a front splitter or two. Yes, I think it would be great. Heck, a blind spot monitor would help in traffic, too. Let's face it..........if it weren't for all of the electronic advances on the C7, it wouldn't be as great of a car as it is.

I'm sympathetic to the notion alluded to by this poster -- the electronic nannies lessen the fun of driving, which is what brings us to purchase a vette in the first place. Some cars in the luxury segment have automated steering, adaptive cruise control, etc. Every advance can be justified by the safety improvements. The road to fully robotic driving is paved with good intentions.
However, we lost the fight against automated systems in cars a long time ago. My first car had a manual choke, but not a manual idle adjustment. The C7 is a wonder of automation and electronic wizardry. I think we can count on the Corvette engineering team to continue adopting or pioneering electronic automation without much loss to the driving experience. I look forward to the day when every other car on the road is fully automated. I'll be out there in my C7 weaving around the sheep dozing while car drives them.
So, bring on the newest advances in automation. But keep the manual throttle and steering. Nothing else really matters, as long as I can jam on gas....

Many cars already have it as standard.

yes, yes, yes!
I'd rather have a front camera and rear sound warning.
