My 2019 CR-Vs adaptive cruise control will come all the way to a full stop, and restart when the car in front goes. I say this as a refutation of the assertion that it's only good at high highway speeds.

The lane keep assist has a wide band it allows the car to ride inside. At first I was disappointed in this, I wanted it to keep the car perfectly centered at all times. However it makes sense when you consider how the car detects that you're still alert and watching the road: you have to apply some torque to the steering wheel once in a while. If the car was perfectly centered already there would be no need to do that.

I think maybe a combination system that detects gaze and not only steering adjustments but even just touching the wheel without applying pressure would be better. It would allow to lane keep to do better while still ensuring driver attentiveness.

Hey fair enough. I’ve driven many cars with lane assist and some are better than others. But they are not meant to be used like Tesla autopilot is.

My girlfriend’s 2021 Outback has pretty amazing adaptive cruise, that will come to a complete stop as you describe. But it doesn’t work under a hard cut off of 35 miles an hour, and trying to use it outside of a highway situation is very nerve racking, which is why I said it’s not ‘useful’.

These technologies are great, and I’m excited to see the become more standard. But my point was to compare them to Tesla autopilot is apples and oranges. To think that they are the same, or they are designed for the same purposes is to not appreciate how darn good Autopilot really is.
