How Do These Cars Affect Novice Drivers?

When our parents were all learning to drive, they had it the hard way. They did not have any fancy gadgets or much of any aid for that matter besides their own knowledge. Are new advancements in cars preventing neophytes from gleaning auto-knowledge? It is my understanding that sixteen-year-olds will never learn to parallel park if the car is to always do it for them. If a sensor on the mirrors is always alerting them, they will never think twice about looking over their shoulder for a "double-glance". We cannot even expect them to rely on the hood cameras completely. Technology is not forever, but knowledge and information we gather is. If a technical difficulty were to occur with one of these "reliable appliances", we would only have our pure skill to make it through the glitch.
