Does it actually do any maneuvering for you? That would freak me out.

Our truck has next lane warning light in the mirror, and an “approaching car in front too fast warning”. You get used to those. The “approaching too fast” lights up your whole dash board and beeps. Scared me to death initially. Now I just ignore it. The backup warning camera/beeper is another nuisance.

I think as long as you combine those features with common sense and being physically defensive, they’re helpful. Depending on them 100% is a no-no.

No maneuvering but in traffic it drove crazy

I have those safety features on my car, as well as some others. When I back out of a parking lot space, not only do I have a rearview camera and back-up beeper, but a warning if cars are approaching from the sides at the rear - very handy but sometimes annoying. If I go 5 mph over the speed limit I hear a beep, weird. Also, if I'm veering out of my lane the steering wheel vibrates. I always drive defensively so these features aren't necessary. I won't use any assisted self-driving features, that's a sure way to get in trouble.
