Cadillac is already advertising a "true, hands-off highway-driving" vehicle. Advertising, as i putting commercials on TV .. so if it were Tesla disaster, I could see Mucho court cases ... which makes me think the car can at least stay within its lane and slow and speed up depending on surrounding traffic.

It might not avoid collisions ... but cruise control has been able to speed and slow for a while now, and most highways have Botts dots or very visible lines, and no real turns or corners until one wishes to exit.

If the TV commercial showed the driver cruising down the highway with neither hand on the wheel (and it does,) then "truth in advertising" laws might apply if the car couldn't perform as illustrated. And I can guarantee you Cadillac doesn't want its customer base hearing about court cases over collisions.

Tesla owners are already willing to push the envelope. Caddy, not so much i think.
