I don't disagree that at times AP has been helpful to me. The sensors do pick up on things, and if you are actively paying attention and ready to take over at a moment's notice, it is probably a net positive. Though on average, for me, things like the forward collision warning tend to be more nuisance than help. Startling, and of the half dozen times it's activated for me, once was me needing to notice that traffic ahead and suddenly stopped, the rest are things like right-turning drivers that are way out of the way but the car panics about them. Even on 'late' mode. The technology will certainly improve, however. Probably going to be quite a while, if ever, before I let it do all the driving, though :). At least partly because I enjoy driving.
