Adaptive cruise control is good enough for most people and has been a proven technology for 20+ years. FSD is just downright dangerous.

    I like my car’s version that’s just adaptive cruise control combined with using lidar maps of major roads to do lane-centering. I can go on a road trip and not touch the gas, break, or steering wheel for hours, but I have to drive it myself through residential neighborhoods.

    what type of car? my outback isn't bad but it's not quite that good, especially if there's a stiff breeze

    Cadillac CT5

    They’ll even pass slow cars then get back over.

    And none of that “touch the steering wheel every few min” stuff, but it uses infrared pupil trackers to make sure you’re mostly looking at the road and not sleeping.

    The idea of infrared pupil trackers is terrifying.

    Imagine the tracking potential for insurance companies, law enforcement, etc...

    I know this is offtopic, just the first thought that comes to my mind :(

    yeah that's definitely going to be a bit higher spec than my Wilderness lmao. The Outback will maintain lane and do centering but does not like even moderate turns, roads with questionable paint, or gusty conditions. It's great for highway use and it definitely won't pass other cars for me, but it will take me pretty far off the beaten path as long as I'm not trying to follow a jeep. Hell yeah, sounds like we've both got solid cars that fit our needs.
