It's not as good as the latest Tesla iteration of "AutoPilot" but it's pretty good on well-marked roads. Appears to be using Mobileye just like the other car manufacturers. Our only complaint is that, unlike the Nissan implementation, there is no audible alert when LKA turns on or off which is more than a little disconcerting when you think LKA is on, and it isn't.
Steering Assist - How does it work?
First a little humor - I had no fewer than 4 Jaguar employees tell me Steering Assist was not available on the i-Pace. Then I showed them. 
OK, it's not perfect, but it does make the drive more relaxing. Every 20 seconds it checks your hands. But I find it will give me false 'Put Hands On Wheel' warnings sometimes, even when my hands are at 10 and 2 like their display shows. I did a little experiment, and grabbed the wheel at 6 o'clock, and tugged on the wheel, left and right every 3-5 seconds. This will not do.
So I don't think the system is feedback torque like Tesla (or the LKA on GM products). Or at least not completely feedback. I think it's looking at something.
Anybody know? What do you think of the autosteering?
(For those who haven't used it - First get up to desired speed, then push up on right side steering wheel toggle lever to set Adaptive Cruise Control speed. Release accelerator pedal. Now to the lower right of the toggle lever is a button that looks like a roadway (inverted V shape of dashed lines). Push that and it will light orange. Now autosteering is activated. On your dashboard (or your HUD also if selected 'Driving Assistance' as display mode), you will see a steering wheel and roadway icon. When both dashed lines are green and the wheel is green, the autosteering is active. Do not release your hands from the wheel until you are used to it.)
