You, the driver, have much much more control over pedestrian safety than any tool. Tech is not silver bullet, it fails (rta). If you believe the tech will "protect you", do you job for you, that is dangerous. Get skilled first, augment those skills with tech second.

That's a naive approach. Sure - technology shouldn't replace safe driving, but it sure does help a lot. It was amazing when the collision avoidance system kicked in on my Volvo V60 and did an emergency breaking, stopping in time when some kids snow sled into traffic. I think could have been able to stop in time, but that would have been a much closer call.
