Things like a nice warning that I'm drifting out of lane are good, it prompts me that my attention is wandering.

That is actually a good safety feature, I have seen several terrible accidents in my lifetime that were due to people falling asleep behind the wheel...  The worst one, a whole family was wiped out...  :(

It's fine, as long as it's utterly annoying. People have to desperately want to avoid it kicking in. Safety through annoyance, until level 4 (never ever) it's the only way.

Tesla's design of it's automation is designed to sell cars while taking massive risks. If there's a cop or emergency responder between the Tesla and the next police car or firetruck they rearend they're going to be the new Uber, it's a real existential risk to Tesla which they are taking for competitive advantage. Risky business.

In which case it's completely useless, because it just ends up being more annoying than actually driving manually.

You don't tend to manually drift into an occupied lane.

It can nudge you back annoyingly when it detects a danger without taking over normal steering and lulling you into sleep so you can hit a firetruck.

james_s:
You don't need self driving for lane departure warning. Personally I don't want either one, I want a simple car with a proper manual gearbox so I focus 100% on *driving* the car when I'm behind the wheel. All these gadgets and tech cars have now is just crutches that enable people to focus on anything but driving.
