The "simple" radar cruise control in my 2014 Mazda 3 Astina (ex demo; MT) is an amazing experience. I'm finding it remarkably accurate, even picking up objects (motorcycles, bicycles) that they explicitly state will not be correctly registered. The simple, yet effective HUD indicates current following distance (as a side note, most drivers are way closer than 2s). Coupled with the visual AEB system, I have autonomous braking for traffic and emergencies. I still have to steer, however the lane departure system warns if I'm exiting my lane without indicating at +65km/h. It might not be anything like Tesla autopilot, but it's still a pretty sweet taste of the future. So stands to reason more can be done with it; I wish I had the funds for a Tesla... Maybe one year :)
