Right, these things seem worse than nothing if they're good enough to make you completely distracted, paying no attention to the road, but them dump control over to you the minute something unexpected happens.

That describes Tesla FSD, not this. Tesla does level 2 in more varied of situations, but that warning time before taking control is a very key difference. Enough that you can pay 0 attention to be able to look around and see what's up before taking control (vs, you're expected to swerve the car when it fails)
