> I've never had one that was helpful in such a way

Had a fun moment with this just yesterday. We were driving across a road behind a line of cars stopped at a red light. The angle was such that I couldn't see the oncoming lane.

I go "Hey I can't see around these cars but you can, is anyone approaching?" and my passenger replies "No, all clear". We move forward slowly and ZOOM a car whooshes past us.

So yeah, I don't think passengers are paying attention even when they say they are.

Trust no one, you’re solely in charge when behind the steering wheel. At least till cars start becoming fully autonomous but then who is to be held responsible if something goes bad..
