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.
