> Given all the restrictions it sounds like the same old adaptive cruise control and lane assist that has been around for years. Actually less appealing, with all the face monitoring and eye tracking, not to mention that it only works on 'vetted' stretches of road.

Yes that sounds like quite the restrictions. The vetted road one is interesting as in theory they could expand it with post purchase updates (or even over the air). But given that these are the same companies that would charge $250+ for a DVD of new maps for a built in GPS nagivation system ... well you get the idea.

It's a subjective topic but I think it looks quite nice. Seems halfway between the previous Caddy body style and a more German styling.

The road restriction is to all limited access highways in the US and Canada. It's less of a vetting and more related to the type of driving they are willing to turn the system on for.

I think it's more limited than that as it refers to "meticulously lidar-mapped." But no idea how limited or not that restriction is.

They announced it at the time, they LIDAR mapped all of the limited access roads in the US and Canada.
