My 2014 Mercedes E350 can do everything in that video, except lane changing, that's new and cool.
But I looked exactly like the guy in the video when I first test-drove my car two years ago, but now I'm so used to it I don't think about it any longer.
But you gotta give it to Tesla's marketing department, that they can get people excited by a feature that you could get in a damn nice car, two years ago, at half the price.

- TeMPOraL 11y agoMost companies need a marketing department to convince people they're making good cars, while they're making good money making cars. Tesla simply makes good cars. No need for a marketing department if your stated goal is your terminal goal, and not just an instrumental one.

- h1029239 11y agoI think you should watch the second video in bri3d's post. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zY_zqEmKV1k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zY_zqEmKV1k) It only requires you to grab the steering wheel if you want to change lanes or turn.
- henrikschroder 11y agoYou can take your hands off of it for short periods of time, but it quickly starts whining to tell you to keep your hands on the wheel, and if you don't the system disengages. It's usually ok to just nudge the wheel a bit to let it know you're still there. Note that this is for obvious liability reasons, not technical reasons.
