> the value prop is not having to micromanage the accelerator/brake/steering wheel in stop-and-go traffic
I largely agree with you here, having driven a car with adaptive cruise control in stop-and-go traffic and finding it to be a total game changer.
That said, I'd argue there's a huge difference between having the car micromanage the accelerator+brake versus having it micromanage the accelerator+brake+steering. With the former, the driver must remain engaged with the driving task (even though the most tedious aspect is taken care of), but with the latter, no engagement whatsoever is required.
