I find the ability for the car to keep itself between the lane markers amazing.

I just wonder what happens when people start depending on that feature.

I'm always trying to use the non touch screen as if it was the other GPS. I'd hate to get used to a lane keeping feature and then drive a different car.

What happens to the vehicle if there are no lines in the road, once the vehicle comes to a stop, do you have to bring it up to speed again and every time I hear 'The Blue Danube' my mind recalls various scenes from '2001: A Space Odyssey'.
