I was driving in a tesla with a retired judge and he was telling me how the car does “stupid s***” like trying to turn off the road or could even suddenly stopped.

It occurred to me it’s more stressful and energy draining to be monitoring what the car is doing than actually driving yourself.

Since every manufacturer is implementing theses features somebody must want them.

I have that autopilot lane-assist on my Nissan. Using it the few times to try it out was indeed stressful, as the car floated from side to side in the highway lane driving itself. Scary, so I reverted to always driving in manual mode. Heck, I rarely use cruise control, because I want complete control of driving.
