Chronic Snoozer, the phenomenon you are talking about is called 'risk shifting". Technology is developed that properly used, reduces risk but the response of the user is to engage in more risky behaviour leaving the overall level of risk substantially the same or even greater.
The classic example is ABS in cars. Drivers responded by reducing separation distances between vehicles, the net effect was that the reduction in nose to tail crashes wasn't what was expected.
Shirley pilots aren't stupid enough to engage in risk shifting?
