I bought a new-to-me car that supports Comma.ai. It's not full self driving, but it handles the boring parts sitting on the freeway for me. it's the best purchase I've made in recent memory because holy shit sitting there on the freeway forever is the worst.
I tried this, not with comma.ai, but had a VW with lane keeping, adaptive cruise, etc. The first time I did a 6 hour drive with it, it felt like magic. I was essentially on one road the whole time, there was very little traffic, and I didn’t touch the pedals, or really even steer much for 95% of the drive. Just at the start and end when off the expressway.
However, as I made that drive more, it got worse. Traffic was usually heavier, and things didn’t go as well with a lot of traffic. Some of it was how it acted, and some of it were trust issues with it. When traffic picked up or other cars did things around me, I’d switch back to manual control. After a while, I was using manual control the whole time… and then eventually just took the train, because I couldn’t tolerate driving myself anymore.
That seems like a you problem, tbh. If you don't trust it to handle drivers coming into your lane so you couldn't use it and you couldn't rest, neither I, nor the manufacturer can do anything about that. To be fair, given VW's other transgressions, I don't blame you, but I don't have a VW, so I'm don't have to dig into VW's org chart and trust my life in understand how good they [are/aren't] at writing software.
I got a used tesla a few years ago that came with FSD, and I fully agree. I drove to Vegas for DEFCON a few weeks ago and the ~8 hour drive was kind of just a mild inconvenience.
