The descriptions of the e-tron ACC and lane assist make it sound like Autopilot 1, which was a Mobileye system (perhaps e-tron uses a Mobileye system) that uses a camera and a radar. It may not be as future upgradable as the Autopilot 2/2.5 hardware but this should meet my expectations.

From the document I posted above, sounds like a pretty comprehensive suite of sensors.
Backing the assist systems in the Audi e-tron is the central driver assistance controller, which comes as standard and continuously computes an exact model of the environment. The required data is obtained – depending on the selected options – from up to five radar sensors, six cameras, twelve ultrasound sensors and the laser scanner.

Thanks for this. My S6 has adaptive cruise and lane keeping, but it will complain pretty quickly if you don’t put your hands on the wheel. Some have used water bottles in the steering wheel to trick it I’ve heard. I’m sure it’s better in the e-tron 5 years later. Do you know how long it was before it insisted you put your hands on the wheel? Just curious. Thanks!

It's been mentioned that the US version (and probably all) will be getting a touch sensitive wheel rather than (or in addition to) torque sensor so the water bottle/fruit method won't work.
