I believe that you me in greater danger when to talk to your wife, yell at the kids, etc. Technology allows me to keep my eyes on the road and makes my driving better. My cruise control prevents me from rear ending another car while the distraction from your kids endangers me while you look to the back seat. Technology has continually made us safer. The invention of head lights, the invention of turn signals and horns (remember when you had to use hand signals?), the invention of non-skid brakes, disk brakes, horns, safety belts, then shoulder belts and continuing on to airbags.

Luddism has never led to greater safety or a better life.
