I know that most premium cars out there already have comparable technology, but have never had a chance to try them fully, and thus I hope see learn from the collective knowledge of the members here. Some example of comparable in production technologies from other automakers that I have heard of.
- Volvo's Pilot Assist II
- Mercedes' combination of Distronic and Steering Pilot
- Cadillac's Super Cruise
- Infiniti's combination of Direct Adaptive Steering, Lane Assist, and Intelligent Cruise Control
