I have a friend who drives back and forth between the Maritimes and Calgary a few times a year and have claimed these features in their ICE vehicles are the only reason why they consider it. I knew others that drove round trips from Calgary to Winnipeg regularly without this feature.
40+ hours one way (round trip) several times a year is insane. But with those features in a vehicle, I'd love to try.
Tossing the kids in the car around midnight and then waking up in Kelowna/Vancouver with my wife and I not worrying as much being awake for most of that trip to keep the car in check would be a pretty awesome luxury.

But that's how you end up dead. That's the danger of these 95% systems. A false sense of ability lulls you into complacency, which is exactly why this recall happened in the first place.
