QOTD: Checking in on Hands-Free

I oregon different staffer has astir apt asked this QOTD before, and it volition astir apt travel up again, but hands-free driving is caller successful my mind.

I americium investigating a Cadillac CT4 (an underrated car, by the way) this week and it's my archetypal clip utilizing Super Cruise. I had my archetypal sensation of Ford's BlueCruise past summer.

I haven't had a ton of clip with either system, but I've recovered some enactment arsenic advertised, and tin bash much than, say, Nissan's ProPilot. I besides recovered that each strategy is constricted and inactive requires you to beryllium paying attraction astatine each times, and that's astir surely a bully thing.

Perhaps astir importantly, neither strategy is misleadingly labeled, similar Tesla's Full-Self Driving strategy is. I've ne'er driven a Tesla with FSD.

Like galore successful the industry, I americium skeptical astir however rapidly autonomous driving volition get -- I uncertainty we'll spot thing resembling Level 5 autonomy anytime soon. But I tin spot much and much of these limited-use systems hitting the market, giving drivers a spot of a reprieve during agelong freeway stints.

So, I inquire of you -- is this a bully happening for the industry, oregon is it taking america towards dystopia-town? What astir information issues -- yes, we cognize astir Tesla's issues. Those person been well-covered. But volition competing systems besides beryllium a problem?
