I find lane assist and adaptive cruise control incredibly nice if you frequently have two hour driving trips on the interstate. I can focus on watching the environment and cars around me, rather than spending a lot of effort on lane-keeping and making sure I'm not going faster than the car in front of me.
Sure, it doesn't work in heavy snow, but I also wouldn't trust it in heavy snow either. I appreciate that my car doesn't provide false confidence in dangerous conditions.
My other vehicle lacks any of the modern radar features, and the one time I did the same drive with that car was... surprisingly more stressful.

(Kia understates the capabilities of their ADAS a lot, probably so people don't abuse it, but it will pretty much drive itself as long as your hands rest on the wheel.)
