self driving makes total sense if its the sci-fi like dream of being able to read the news or a novel in the drivers seat while your car safely takes you to your destination.

But if I have to maintain a hand on the steering wheel and monitor the car I may as well be driving.

Any of the advanced lane keeping systems are immensely helpful for lowering fatigue, especially on longer drives. I think it's quite hard to recognize how fatiguing it is to constantly make sure your car is centered in the lane with small hand movements. In my experience, long car rides are substantially less fatiguing when I just have to 'oversee' the car, rather than fully drive it.
