I just bought a car that knows to stay in its lane and auto-corrects accordingly. It also keeps a determined distance from the car in front of it and will stop immediately if obstructions get in the way.

I could conceivably take a 3 hour drive on the highway and never touch a pedal or the wheel. Though, if you don't touch the wheel after a couple of lane autocorrections, it sounds a bell and asks you to put your hands on the wheel.
