Not yet. Completely autonomous lane changes were promised for eAP, and that's the main reason for the rear/side camera pair, but Tesla hasn't released that code yet.

Yes, the driver always has to check the lane themselves, but what I am saying is that the system also has its own criteria before it even allows it. It doesn't always just allow you to initiate the change no matter what. So there is theoretically an extra level of safety on top of the driver checking. Sorry if I didn't make that clear.
The owner's manual now has the Super Cruise Information:

No, the 120v outlet is not rated at enough amps to make toast.
If you think about it, for the average responsible driver it's pointless. It's not a commuter car. The back seats have more amenities than the front seats do. Privacy curtains, your own sunroof, reclining massage seats, dual entertainment screens with wireless stereo headphones, 120v power, etc. So you have a driver, and all they have to do is steer. If they nod off, the seat vibrates, chimes sound, and the car eases them back into the lane. Do it enough, and it sounds an alert to put your hands back on the wheel. Not sure what happens if you continue to drive like a drunk though. Not sure I want to find out.
This is the 2016, not the Super Cruise model. All the Super Cruise add-on does is steer. Duh, what ELSE is there to do with your hands. Don't answer that.
This is so far from the truth considering Mercedes has one of the worst level 2 system. this is supposed to be fixed this fall when they release drive pilot 4.5.
But currently it has by far one of the worst l2 systems. AP1 and Volvo pilot assist 2 far surpasses it, but super-cruise easily trumps them all.
A quick note to GM engineers: OK team, this autonomous vehicle stuff is really hard, even harder than ignition switches! The folks over in Silicon Valley who invented the internet are even finding it to be quite a challenge. So, sharpen up your pencils, and start putting your backs into it!

Autonomy will come 'sooner than you think' says GM CEO Barra
By the way... Who else sells a street car that balances itself when flying through the air at 175mph? Flying Car Logic, by Chevrolet. In a freakin' Camaro!! HAHAHAA!!! Eat that Ferrari!

As I understand, the 15 second nag is only if your eyes aren't on the road for that long. I think that's better than today when I have to keep looking AWAY from the road to see if my Tesla is nagging me to put my hands on the wheel. You really should have your eyes on the road every 15 seconds anyway of course.

I really hope the supposed interior camera in Model 3 will be used to stop nagging the driver if the car can determine his/her eyes are still on the road.
I agree. It would be nice if the M3 AP2 has 'hands-off' Autopilot. But they need to get it in the Model S/X. If the M3 has hands-off, and the MS MX does not, that is going to be a financial problem.

I would be shocked if S and X don't suddenly start rolling off the line with the new interior camera....assuming that is indeed what Model 3 has.
That link was broken for me, but this worked:

Now I'm kicking myself for not fighting more with my wife to wait for Super Cruise. Not because it would be helpful, but so I COULD PLAY WITH IT!!!
Seriously, we had a logical family discussion of the merits of waiting for Super Cruise. We both agreed that for our family it was a silly option. We got a smoking deal on the 2016. Less than our 2009 CTS-V.
I think it's important to add that this was done purposely by MB. They intentionally made it bad so people wouldn't have too much faith in it.
In does make sense to some degree. Of course everyone else went the other way with L2.
Uh???
TACC/AP already does curve speed control by slowing down before a medium corner.
I kind of dislike it since you can't turn it off, and it's a bit too driving miss daisy for my taste.
"A nice touch: capacitive sensors detect the driver’s hand(s) on the wheel, eliminating the need to wiggle it to verify control as with some lane keep assist vehicles."
some = as in Tesla and MB.
Haha.
I hate the torque based sensor that Tesla uses. I get warnings even when I do have my hands on the steering wheel.

The Article is completely wrong which is kinda funny because it's a really informative article otherwise.
It's the Atlanta Falcons of articles.
