Yes, it’s a pretty effective and comprehensive driver’s aid.
I have a relative in her late 70s that was an early adopter, she knows how to use it and it’s a life saver to her. She does a lot of driving, and it’s an important tool for her.
It definitely keeps the car in the lane, it has over the years for us been infallible in safely making lane changes, it is excellent at monitoring speed and braking. Also you plug in your destination and it navigates itself there.
One really has to understand what it is, and isn’t, and use it for a while to really know it.
Again, it’s early technology and there’s no doubt the public is being used as beta testers. Whether that’s good or bad for society overall and in the long run is, I suppose, subject to debate. But it is allowing for the technology to advance rapidly.
I do think Tesla calling it “Full Self Driving” wasn’t the best idea.
