Most of us on this board are automobile enthusiasts. A fair percentage have and do engage in HPDE advanced training on a fairly regular basis. We are experienced at advanced car control. We understand, speed, braking distances and at the limits handling. We drive our cars every time we crank them up. We are the minority. For the other 99.X% (I truly believe we are less than 1% of the drivers), these aids help make the road a safer place for everyone.
It isn't that the commercial is promoting inattentive driving. It is that the commercial is a factual representation that most of us here are in denial about.

An automated car cannot be an enthusiast's car.
If it were up to me a '66 GTO would still be readily available. With no power steering or brakes. A 4 speed. And tri-carbs. For as much as I love everything about my Camaro there's nothing - NOTHING - like driving an old car that is noisy, smells, and makes you do everything. You are actually completely engaged in every aspect of operation by sheer necessity, because the car don't move if you don't do everything. You are one with the car.
