Yeah, aren’t a lot of the features they call self-driving in fact driver assist features other car companies have had for a long time but didn’t call self-driving because it would be stupid and dangerous to do so?
ETA: Well would you look at that:
Every so often the [BMW] steering wheel will glow yellow, telling you to place your hands back on the steering wheel. Once you do, the iX will continue to drive itself, allowing you to relax behind the wheel.
the [Ford Mustang] Mach-E’s camera above the steering wheel makes sure your eyes are still on the road. If your eyes begin to drift elsewhere, BlueCruise is disabled until you bring your attention back to the road.
Although you can let go of the steering wheel whenever you want, the vehicle will warn you to put your hands back on the steering wheel, or else it will deactivate. Genesis makes sure to tell drivers to keep their hands on the steering wheel at all times, even in its promotional video on HDA II.
Mercedes has recently beat Tesla to selling level 3 autonomous vehicles to consumers.
