Does anybody know how they are likely to implement the hand sensor for the lane keeping assistance?

I typically drive with only my left hand on the wheel (before you say anything, I haven't had an accident in almost 10 years). I find I get better control with one hand as opposed to 2. I also keep it low on the wheel (about 8 o'clock). Is the car going to think I never have my hands on the wheel?

If the lane keeping system does that, I'm definitely not getting it. I drive with 2 hands, 1 hand, or no hands (J/K).

My current Jeep has cruise assist and I'm starting to hate it. Sometimes all these features just get in the way

Sometimes I drive with my knee for a second, but very rarely.

"Most likely the car senses a lack of micro-movements, the subconscious small corrections a driver makes many times a minute."

Could be. Makes sense.

Also:

"Mercedes researchers considered in-cockpit cameras focused on the driver’s eye movements and blinking patterns, then decided there was greater treasure to be mined from the steering inputs alone."
