Once you set a speed, it stays there, adjusting speed for traffic in the way. It makes relatively subtle steering adjustments to follow road turns. When I say subtle, I mean more so than the 2014 Cadillac CTS I t test drove some years ago. If you are hands barely touching the wheel, you can see it steering for you. But I would never take my hands completely off the wheel. Software engineers who completely trust software have not had enough experience.
Is it as good as a self-driving system? I do not think so, but it is still nice to have. It will not fool you into the doubtless apocryphal tale told in the late 1970s when Los Angeles was awash in privileged Iranian college students with $4700/month stipends from hone. The tale was an Iranian set the cruise control on the van, then went in the back to make a sandwich.
