Maybe the one thing I could see is people letting go of the steering to do something thanks to lane assist, but those same people were thigh-driving before, and I might trust the system more…
I’ll agree with this, that my mild annoyance at being 2mph slower than I want to be is greatly reduced by adaptive cruise control. Which means my following distance is nicer and I’m less likely to bother to change lanes.
Biggest thing is that it doesn’t begin slowing down for traffic ahead like I would like it to, and I don’t trust it enough to see if it even would, but maybe that much engagement is good to make sure I don’t get too complacent.
Also, mitigating the mind numbing monotony of hours on a freeway. The wheel naturally staying in the center (lane centering, not lane keeping) does a lot for keeping me feeling more well rested on a longer trip.
They were driving with reckless abandon before…

I drove much more conservatively since getting a car with these features.
I.e…im more likely to just go a steady speed behind someone with ACC on, whereas before I’d be passing frequently.
And in general, it makes driving in heavy traffic far less draining. Oh it’ll worry about pulling up and stopping constantly for me? Yes please.
