Interesting thing about the hand gestures. Maybe one day we won't need a steering wheel anymore, just hold your hands up as if holding an invisible wheel...

Some interesting kit in there, I do like to hear that the safety features can be set-up to your preference rather than full nanny mode 100% of the time. Overall not a bad execution, not for me, but like the article pointed out... the tech will eventually move downstream  ;D
