That is like the person steering to avoid a collision while cruise control and lane assist are on, it isn’t actually fully autonomous.

This is how it generally behaves, but they are capable of taking direct control in more difficult situations. It’s only very slow maneurvers though, it’s not like they would be driving it down the street.

LOL so when they get in a situation in a tunnel that is 10 or 20 km long (ok you don’t have that in poor Usa, but we have them here), they first drive it at 10km/h and then they give up after 300m? Because the rules are the rules??

From the description it’s really not meant to solve that. In a situation like that they’d have to send someone, but they would be able to get out of the middle of a lane, off to the side, even if that only gives an extra foot or two of space.
