Spending the afternoon watching college basketball and we keep seeing a commercial for Denali pickup with hands free driving. Would anyone here do that. Personally I don’t even like cruise control.

My Kia Telluride has Lane Keep Assist. It's not intended to drive itself per se, but as long as there are lines on the shoulder and in the center of the road, the car will literally steer itself and stay centered, even if you don't have your hands on the wheel. If you steer too close to the center line or the shoulder Line, you get a beep and the wheel vibrates to warn you to move over.Spending the afternoon watching college basketball and we keep seeing a commercial for Denali pickup with hands free driving.

How will the future drivers park their cars when the system goes down?No!
I'm not a big fan of a car that parallel parks for me either
CC Keeps me from being the fastest car on the highway.And I'm not a big fan of cruise control either, although I know it has been around for many years
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER,I don't want a device in my home, probably recording everything I ask it
I finally got my MapQuest to work after years of trying.I still don't use GPS, I can figure out how to get somewhere from looking at a map
Etc...
I actually think we are creating a dumber society, all of these things require thinking (maybe not cruise control), and it's good for the mind to figure things out and actually do things...
So does my Niro. I took quite a while to get used to the steering wheel pulling on its own. Overall given the number of distracted drivers probably a good thing. The only real downside I have noted is that it doesn't realize / understand that sometimes the safest route is not in the exact middle of the lane (something/ someone on the side) and you need to move slightly over and it tries pushing you back.My Kia Telluride has Lane Keep Assist.

In some places (including here in Alberta), it is the law to slow down to half the speed limit when passing an emergency vehicle, if you are in the lane immediately next to where they are working...
Unfortunate truth.Overall given the number of distracted drivers probably a good thing.
Me too - but there are times when driving is dreary. E.g. Pdplot's journey from CT to FL.I actually like driving, hands on the wheel and using the clutch/stick. That's why even the 2020 daily driver is a 6 speed. and my phone is in my pants pocket in the car where it isn't easy to get at. Haven't setup the Bluetooth connection or the digital assistant on the phone or car. And nope, no internet connected devices or speak to assistant inside. Now if you'll excuse me I'll go prowl the jungle like the dinosaur I am according to the young extended family members...
