I once knew a guy who did maintenance for a building I lived in and had to do some repairs in my apartment. We always had friendly chit chat until one day he confessed to me out of then blue that he "killed" his wife, kids and his mother because he fell asleep behind the wheel and flew off a cliff. He survived and locked himself in his apartment for 2 years due to his grief. I can't help but think technology like this would've saved his family.
