    Because it’s an extremely narrowly defined set of requirements in order to use it. It’s “approved freeways with clear markings and moderate to heavy traffic under 40MPH during daytime hours and clear conditions” meaning it will inch forward for you in bumper to bumper traffic provided you’re in an approved area and that’s it.

      Right, this is an insurance product more than a tech product.

      Still seems not legal to not pay attention to the road. Wouldn’t fly over here at least.

        Correct, it only flies in California and Nevada, where the DMV approved it
