I see this as an improved version of "cruise control", true self driving cars are at best decades away.
Snow, Heavy rain, visibility are better with automated cars. There needs a lot more work on Automated cars before they can deal with one off's like traffic diversions for roadworks, or a man telling drivers to pull to the left or right to avoid something.
