Driving for ~25 years. Did quite some kilometers when I was between 19 and 30.

My current car is the first one with a lot of assistance systems. I actually see them as additional safety level, but as a first instance still use my senses. Blind spot monitoring is something that I learned to value as a slice in the Swiss Cheese Model of Security [1].

And I detect myself driving extra carefully when driving a car without them. Way more careful than I was driving before I ever had blind spot monitoring.
