I've been looking at getting an audi Q4 and buried deep in the options is "Audi adaptive cruise Assist" which is billed as:

"As part of the automaker’s changes to its 2021 model lineup, Audi is making its Level 2 “Adaptive Cruise Assist” technology more widely available. It gives vehicles the ability to maintain the proper speed, lane position and following distance on limited-access roads like freeways and Interstates, all with minimal driver intervention."

I really like the sound of this having used adaptive cruse control a lot when I had my S3. Having to touch the wheel now and again seems good for long shleps.

ObviouslyTesla are in front with this technology, but i'm more interested in how the more traditional brand's systems stack up, particularly BMW, Merc, Volvo etc. Any experience with "level 2" autonomous tech?

Interesting, thanks. Surprised that Tesla weren't out in front given all the press their system receives.
