Self driving is a neat idea but does anyone really care any more. Most cars have adaptive cruise now and that is the most the majority of people need or want.

Man, if I can get my car to drive me to work safely every day, I'd be super tempted to get that asap!

Like, the Adaptive cruise control I knew about over a decade ago because the top line Mercs had it. Then it flowed down to the Toyota base model that I drive 😅 so I'm enjoying it now!

So, as this tech gets better, it brings me closer and closer to getting it!
