Since it lets you fall asleep as long as your hand (or something) is on the wheel, I'm not sure it's the best thing you can get. Cadillac SuperCruise seems better from a driver awareness standpoint, given that this is "predictable abuse" otherwise.

It doesn't let you fall asleep. It needs force on the wheel to prevent disabling itself, and just a weight attached isn't enough. It needs a change in force.

Honestly, if your only critiques are based on hearsay then maybe you shouldn't critique.

I am not sure what you are talking about. Tesla autopilot regularly makes you either tug at the steering wheel or press one of the buttons on the steering wheel. Having your hand on it isn’t enough.
