I honestly don't see the point of "autopilot" if I have to be prepared to take control at all times. It's not like it's any less work than actually driving manually (the hard part is maintaining focus, not twiddling a steering wheel back and forth). In reality, I don't think people who use it are actually prepared to take control at all times. Hence the accidents.

Can these features be activated independently in Tesla vehicles?
I like the idea of adaptive cruise control (ACC), but I don't think I'd like it if my car steered for me. That seems reasonable, and many cars do have ACC without lane-assist, but what about the other way around? What if I want to control the gas pedal, but have the car keep itself in the lane? Like if I'm eating a sandwich and need to take my other hand off the wheel for a few seconds, but I'm not prepared to put it into full auto mode.
