They work OK in the daytime, but I wouldn't trust it at night or reduced visibility. I guess I just like to be in control.
Nothing wrong with that. We did find that driver aids like lane keeping make for a more relaxed drive. Before Musk killed the radar on our Model 3, the autopilot was really nice on long, boring drives. I arrived with much more energy and was ready to unpack and explore our destination. Whereas in the past, I was ready to hit the sack :)

It worked just as well at night. If there was too much snow or fog it ensured that I was the one driving.
Camera only systems don't provide safety when most needed, sun in your eyes and dense fog. Radar does! I have personally seen the subaru system go off line because the sun blinded it.

Team Radar!

Wow that's just dissapointing. While camera's have gotten good I think having additional information makes the auto drive much safer. An easy example is camera based systems vs Waymo system on total miles driven & number of incidents.

I've never been a fan of any kind of 'super-cruise', just let me drive the dang thing!
