> The adaptive cruise is really good. It's camera based, and I have had zero problems with it. It works well at night and in pouring rain. It'll even stay pretty close to the car ahead of you if you turn the "tolerance" all the way down. I'm always impressed.
I checked, assuming it's actually using a radar - and you're right. They seem to use a stereo camera system. Neat.
It's not impervious to bad weather, but pretty resilient. I'd say in the 2 years we've had ours the system has shut off maybe 3-4 times due to one of: a) very low and direct sun angle, b) very heavy rain, c) dense fog. Which, to be fair, are all difficult conditions for a human to drive in as well.
But I agree with the parent, the suite of driver assistance features is very good, but a long way from "self driving".

I'm surprised it works well in bad weather, but I've never tried it.
