Research suggests these features are little used (thank god!)IMO, if you don’t possess the skill to parallel park, which, on, can be a challenge now and again, you shouldn’t be behind the wheel of a vehicle. And the Automated Drive feature, IMO, is self-defeating because you still have to pay attention (at probably an increased stress level) as you relinquish control of the vehicle and very possibly your life to technology that is not 100% reliable. Seems to me that all it does is allow you to rest your arms by releasing hold of the steering wheel. If your arms are THAT tired, then you shouldn’t be driving in the first place, OR….. do like 99% of drivers do and rest one while supporting the other as you drive. There’s this thing called AN ARM REST in every vehicle.</blockquote>
