It depends. As my wife and I get older, our reflexes and vision (especially night driving) will get worse. Whether we trust a machine more than ourselves remains to be seen. We also do long trips, so some safe self driving might be helpful to fight fatigue.

Remember to patch the vulnerabilities or you might end up in a crash!

I watched videos with various cars. Right now you really need to be paying attention. It's nowhere near as capable as Tesla FSD. I like that it is open source and improving.

The safety features on most modern cars seem like they'd get you at least 90% of the value from a self-driving car. Our car stays in its lane and maintains a safe distance from the cars in front of it, and it will stop on its own to avoid a collision.

Are you describing reactive functions? The car correcting your screw ups, or does it perform these tasks on its own? Sometimes my car tries to stop me from changing lanes when it's safe to do so.

It does them on its own, but it yells at me if my hands aren’t on the wheel.

Lane assist keeps you centered automatically and cruise control maintains a buffer with the car in front of you.

That sounds cool. My car just turned 20 years old, so I haven't experienced this yet.
