An aircraft carrier can't turn on a dime but when it does finally turn around it's a f-ing aircraft carrier and it means business. GM realized it should care about self driving tech, bought some self driving startups, wrote some checks, made more than a token attempt at integrating it with their products. We'll see how it works out.

From how they've described the situation that the system needs to take effect it sounds well thought out. Only time will tell if it makes a habit of driving into partial lane obstructions at highway speed.

I seriously hope there's a user setting for how aggressive this is because what Caddilac considers a conservative enough setting for its customers is going to be very restricting to a lot of commuters.

If you're letting the computer drive for you in the first place, I doubt the intensity of G-force in a corner is of paramount concern.

I think having it back off in a corner an then having a bunch of people cut in front of you and then very, very slowly regaining speed (because where there was space now there's people who moved in front of you) will annoy people.
