I understand. Self driving is making progression, and I can understand the concern.

Like I said, I thought you were saying the indicator was the issue, not the self driving. I don't know the facts behind self driving, and it's definitely above my paygrade, so I have no room to give opinions. I think progression is cool though, if it's proven safe

To be fair though, you did skip the limitations.

that can only be used in limited situations and in certain (geo-fenced) areas, like in heavy traffic on select highways at speeds of 40 MPH or less. Drive Pilot is also limited to daytime use and during clear weather, and cannot be used in construction zones. Furthermore, the driver is not allowed to fall asleep or leave the driver's seat

I did, because even at 40 mph a car is deadly.
