I have a 2020 Hyundri Palisade (new model SUV came out in 2020) which drives it's self when its in cruise control, it follows the white lines on the road, will turn when there's curves, it also slows down when it comes upon a vehicle going slower in your lane. Here's the catch, when you take your hands off the steering wheel for 30 sec, a beeping sound will warn you to keep your hand on the wheel, but this is good for an old man like me who might fall asleep at the wheel, LOL
That sounds like a good deal for an old guy who might fall asleep.
But I wouldn't trust it as a self-driving car yet except in limited circumstances. The car depends on the lane markings to keep it in the lane. What does the car do when (1) the lane markings are obscured by snow; (2) the lane markings have worn off due to poor maintenance; (3) the lane markings get confusing at strange intersections?
I'm really not comfortable with using lane markings as the basis for automatic driving except in an emergency situation like the driver being distracted or falling asleep. Even then, I would want the car to slow down, head for the shoulder, and park.
Maybe it should beep for a couple minutes and if the driver doesn't respond it should call 911.
