I think every Subaru shipped comes with Level 2 now? So for $23k or something, you can have a properly made car with lane keeping, traffic jam assist, adaptive cruise control, etc. etc. It won't turn at stop signs for you but feels much safer when considered with today's state of self-driving.
- cmckn 6y agoTotally agree; many cars in the 20-30k range have plenty of “auto-pilot” features already. Sure, my Honda doesn’t stop at lights that are green[0], or ignore stop signs in parking lots[0], so I guess there’s still work to be done.

- sbrother 6y agoIt's absolutely nothing like autopilot. Source: I've owned a Tesla for the past three years and I drove a friend's brand new Outback a couple months ago. Autopilot is smooth, easy to use, and lets you basically "monitor" instead of driving for any highway driving. Overtaking a slow car is just tapping the turn signal, and it handles waiting for a window, merging, and accelerating for you. The Subaru version on the other hand is more of a "driver safety" tool that would sometimes stop you from drifting all the way out of lane, but was nowhere near reliable enough to be relied on to steer.

Subaru markets it as a driver assistance tool, not as a replacement for the driver.
