Hmm, so only on a very small number of predetermined routes, and at very slow speeds for those roads.

Still impressive, but not as impressive as the headline makes out.

And definitely not worth the $2500 a year they’re asking for the feature.

Chances are, If you can afford the car, then that amount is nothing to you.

Having known one, some of their customers love their feature loaded cars to brag about and feel extra special. Some will definitely pay the 2.5k gladly.
