The parallel I draw is the driver I saw last winter here who, dazzled by the brilliance of the 'perfect' ABS in his car, was amazed when it let him slide into another car on sheet ice.
you can draw this parallel as long as it is done on the following basis:

30 years ago 100 cars a winter were sliding into other cars on sheet ice. Today we have reduced that to 10. Our aim is to reduce further.

You cannot draw this parallel if you do it on the basis that Honda's ABS is flawed because I want my own foot to do the braking as in my Chevy whilst quietly overlooking the small issue of more accidents in a chevy.
