adaptive cruise + lane tracing/centering - it gives you warnings to keep your focus on the road and to be alert etc, but thats bullshit. the whole point is to let the damn thing drive itself so you can minimize the fatigue of concentrating.
Edit: you know what would actually improve safety? a friggin manual E brake. i Recall last time when i was sliding out into a stop light during the winter storm of 08' that manual E brake saved my ass. Now all these eletronic bullshit e brakes do nothing other than hold the car when you park.

Man, this is so true. You can add Telsa one foot driving on to that list as well, and "auto pilot"
