Honda Accord Advanced Driver Assist System (ADAS) auto-pilot system
Ummm, all I can say is WoW! It's not 'hands off and take a nap, but it sounds impressive. From EnGadget:

Honda Accord ADAS auto-pilot system takes the reins
Posted Jan 30th 2006 4:35PM by Paul Miller
We've heard of radar assisted cruise control, that has certain luxury cars running at set speeds on the highway, but slows them down or speeds them up when they get too close to a car in front or behind. Well now Honda UK is taking it to another level with their Advanced Driver Assist System (ADAS) that not only regulates your speed, but manages the turning, allowing you a full auto-pilot system for your Accord when you're out on the freeway. The Adaptive Cruise Control is your regular radar variety, but the Lane Keep Assist System keeps you headed in the right direction by using a camera on the rear-view mirror to watch the white lines and turn accordingly. Honda was quick to point out that their system isn't exactly set up for you to take a nap, since the ADAS system will beep every 10 seconds to make sure you're paying attention, requiring you to touch the steering wheel to inform the car you're still in charge, but we're sure someone is going manage an accident and an ensuing lawsuit or three out of this "convenience".

COULD BE FUN WHERE SOMEONE CHANGED LANES OVER FRESHLY PAINTED LINES.
OR WHERE THE OCCASIONAL PAINT BUCKET FALLS OFF THE TRUCK

I wouldn't be trusting any kind of auto pilot or cruise control in those conditions.
