I couldn't do it......
Watching a ball game on turkeyday, GM had a commercial for the Silverado and the hands free driving. It showed the driver clapping to music, and doing other things with no hands on the wheel while the truck is going down the road, and pulling a trailer at times too. I couldn't do it, nor would I want to be in a vehicle where someone else is doing it either...

Me too . Not willing to cede that much control to an autonomous machine .

I don't like that idea

Not only couldn't I do it, I don't want to see the guy in the lane next to me do it either. Bob

...I use the "hands free" feature a lot...usually when I'm too drunk to see the steering wheel...hard to see laying down in the back seat...
...kidding of course....I really don't drink, except too much Dr Pepper...

So you have two hands to operate your phone. Drivers need to pay more attention not less.

I am not persuaded that autonomous vehicles will EVER be failsafe, particularly here in MN. Should I trust that some device will accurately sense black ice on the highway 300 feet away? No way.....

My 2 cents, only an idiot would let a vehicle drive itself.

Let's hope the onboard data recorder can sense when hands are the wheel

I drive in close proximity to these a couple times a week. They don't seem to make mistakes, but they drive like an old duffer.

Honda Civic has it..nover use it. However the radar it has is useful to keep from getting too close to folks.

No trust from me. Son's previous work pickup had the 'lane sensing' feature. It was supposed to buzz/vibrate when the vehicle approaches or crosses the lane markers. Tested it on I 35 north of KCMO. It only worked now and then. Depending on such 'iffy' response would be suicidal.

I would fully trust that the week after all of the airlines remove the Captain and First Officer from all their airplanes.

My wife drives a Lexus and it's automatic everything, lane warning, speed warning, self braking, EVERYTHING.
I hate it, I told her that she will eventually lose some of her driving skills because she doesn't drive anymore, she just rides.
I can't help but wonder what happens in some kind of emergency if you need to speed or drive in the other lane or in some scenario hit an object (fence, gate, another car, etc) intentionally to save yourself.
The only self driving vehicle I will ever ride in will be the airport tram or space mountain.

How would you know when it suddenly veers one way or the other that it is steering or there's some mechanical or road problem? Do you just let it go until it's too late or what?
Wife's Highlander Hybrid is spooky. I turn off the lane control, but use the radar cruise control when there's no traffic. It will slow to match a vehicle that's 200 feet ahead. But if I flick on the turn signal for a lane change, it starts to accelerate on its own. Damn thing knows I'm going to pass before I even tug the wheel!

Maybe this "chip" shortage will help mankind live a little longer 😊

Or you can view this as a gene pool cleansing device.
The problem would be who else is it going to take out when it malfunctions.
That was a "When" not an "IF".

I am at the age where I have already bought my last vehicle. Between my car and my truck, driving both depends on me the driver for every function.
Seeing all these new features on new cars and trucks will remain science fiction for this guy!
