Thanks @jjswan33 and @mgc0216 - that does clear things up and it is a little disappointing honestly.
There are many local "mini-expressways" around here with long stretches of basically no lights, and speeds of 45-50 (which means everyone is driving 5-10 above that - highway speeds) where it's great for LKAS (aka highway assist in Rivian) to kick in and just remove the need for micro-adjustments but since those aren't "highways" they might never be "mapped". Clearly the hardware is capable (if much cheaper/older vehicles can do it with single front-facing cams) so it could be added via OTA (I am hoping as I don't get my R1S till next year) it's just surprising to see a vehicle in this class ship without something that seems mostly "standard" at 40-50k price points for the past almost 10 years.
Didn't mean to derail things from the main topic but the distinction between features has always seemed odd to me and I didn't understand the divisions between them. Thanks for the clarifications!
