Why would anybody ever use it then? If you have to monitor it and it does a bad job (in situations documented in that video), what is the value? I recognize that it does better in other situations, like open highways, but if you have to keep your hands on the wheel anyway, what is the benefit to the driver compared to older technology like assisted cruise control?

I wonder how this compares to more limited abilities like lane-keeping. I did a few 10hr drives between Oregon and California during the pandemic and the lane-keeping made this easier similarly to cruise control. I still has to watch it all the time, but it somehow made it more relaxed.

More relaxed might make for a happier driver, but I’m not sure it makes for a safer driver.

It's only for as long as the software is in beta testing (if we can really call it beta).
