I'll have to test it out on a different bit of highway, perhaps one of our older more weathered areas where lines are less defined to see how it really holds up. I'm fortunate in that I usually only drive off peak hours, so cruise control is usually an option. I typically only use it on long drives, but my wife is a cruise control junkie and she loves the features on the new Honda. I'd agree, the most useful bit seems to be the collision mitigation, but I still find the other stuff cool :) Oh, and the lane change camera is pretty awesome (though not relevant to our self-driving topic).

> lane change camera is pretty awesome I didn't find this to be an improvement over the right side mirror. The optics of the mirror are such that there is practically no blind spot on the right at all. Cars on the right vanish from the mirror only when they are right next to my car--at that point I will see the car through the window itself when I glance over to the mirror. It's the left side that's more problematic. Oddly the left side mirror does not have a true blind-spot mirror. There is this left part of the mirror that has different optics but it doesn't cover the whole blind spot. So there is a point around the left passenger door when the car is completely invisible in the mirror. This could have been remedied either with a true blind spot mirror on the left (I think Ford Fusions have these) or with a camera. Instead there is neither. I might just glue a $5 blind spot mirror on there to remedy something that could have been standard equipment. Sometimes they made strange choices with this car.
