Can you explain how

  - Must be under 40 mph
  - Only during the daylight and only on certain highways
  - CANNOT be operated on city/country streets
doesn't exclude all roads? Where I live, highways all have a speed limit of 65-75 mph, and all streets with a speed limit of 40 or below are city our county roads. So where can you actually use this?

From what it sounds like, when you are in a traffic jam you use it and then the second that traffic jam ends you immediately have to take control.

Ngl that sounds like it requires more attention than autopilot, if you’re not doing anything and then have to take full control that sounds like it could lead to an absurdly unsafe outcome

In a traffic jam. Which is most of LAs roads at least some of the time.

It does. The system is useless. Not all freeways are even allowed.
