I'm still unclear as to the benefit given that you're required to attend to the road and it detects distracted people in the driver's seat?

do you find benefit in dynamic cruise control in slow moving traffic. Now add the lane centering logic and you dont have to apply a lot of torque on the wheel either, because the system does adjustments for you.

So the benefit is strictly in slow-moving traffic?

And it's never occurred to me that steering wheel torque is an issue. And so many of these processes -- lane centering, not bumping into the car ahead of me -- are subconscious for me at this point, but I've been driving for decades.

May I ask how good is the technology that notices when someone is distracted and forces them to attend to the road?
