It does take little getting used to. It does things you wouldnt, and vice versa. It does nothing bad. Just different.

You need to be brave and let it deal with a few situations you are very tempted to take control of, and build up some confidence. Then its quite relaxing.

Ive just driven from Harrogate to Bath today. A shocking journey. Roadworks and delays everywhere, but did 95%+ of it on adaptive cruise and I just steered.....
Wot he said - except I don't even bother steering either
