fair enough on the anticipation, but when I have let autopilot take over it has often been only seconds before I'm already uncomfortable with the decisions it's making and spotting the really rookie driving mistakes it makes. autopilot creates danger where none needed to exist by not using the full width of the lane and failing to create space through relative small speed adjustments. The cues it gives off while driving are some of the exact things I watch for when trying to identify beginning drivers so I can give them even more space. I certainly would not describe autopilot as 'good' on highways. I'd barely call it adequate.
