Vehicle sensors costs...

Heres the cost benefit 700 per package car x some 90,000 package cars which would be 63 mil..... driver backs excessively runs over granny and grandkids dead wrongful death lawsuit to UPS 12 million,
It would depend on how many grandkids are involved. Trust me you aint gonna get much for Granny (based on a case where a Granny was ran over by a forklift in a well known discount store parking lot)her earning days are long gone.
bulkhead door not closed driver slams on breaks rebar sample goes through the back of the drivers head....
OOOOPS, think about this one Drewed, if the rebarb is propelled into the cab area because of the bulk head door being open it will not go through the back of the drivers head, unless he is also standing in the middle of the cab area at the time. (keep your examples logical)
1000 minor fender benders average cost 600 bucks, 600,000 bucks....
What minor finder binders, other than backing, are you talking about? Remember keep them logical.

driver does wear his seatlbelt gets rear ended gets whipflash 10,000 in chiropratic costs, 60k to fix the discs in his neck, another 10 k in rehab then a settlement for 90k for perm disability.
Logic, logic LOGIC.... whiplash comes from the head snapping to the rear, seatbelts will not prevent whiplash. But they will keep you in the seat and out of the windshield.

Do all of those happen everyday? No of course not we;d be out of business if we did but in comp costs, insurance premiums and publicity its worth the 700 bucks....have a lot more sensors to do what they do everyday and they accept it and move on you should too.
note: I'm not arguing the merit of the sensors, just the often repeated company oriented examples that don't really apply to the proper use of the safety devices in the real world.
