For me the only time I ever don't want to drive is stop and go traffic, has anyone used it for that and found it reliable? Overall do you feel it's worth getting that option?

Coming from Tesla with fsd that was a huge thing. To the point I was concerned getting so used to fsd could ruin my first time ever Porsche experience.
it is kind of confusing. I had my turbo specced with innodrive and have had my car for three days now and honestly donā€™t know if I have used the whole thing. Anyways the active lane keep and cruise control are good enough however not as good as the Tesla. For my needs when stuck in traffic and on highways again seems to be good enough.
there is something that makes it control speed but came with the car on the off position and I didnā€™t turn it on since reading on this forum lots complained of it being very slow.

I don't see why anyone would want to use it in a city. I live in SF and would never trust anything like that with how dynamic everything is. It definitely doesnt recognize stop signs or street lights though, nor would it do any turns at lights/intersections for you if you have a destination set. It is basically just adaptive cruise control/stop and go by following the car in front with radar/lidar combined with active steering to keep your car centered in a lane when it detects one on each side.

Innodrive is a must for traffic self drive and cruising.
It works really well.
Active lane keep + cruise control will NOT do the trick.

I did try it on my Taycan 4S (part of Feature on Demand) and it was pretty much useless for my usual roads. I don't think you can rely on it in the city (London) and it doesn't add much on the highways.

I did purchase the Active Lane Keep as that helps with long drives on highway.

Anything Porsche in this camp is not close to Tesla...

I used it for 30min or so after a weekend hike as I was pretty tired. I can tell you it's pretty good. However one time it lowered the speed of the car from 120 to 80 on highway... I guess at some point that section might have been under construction but it wasn't anymore. Thankfully there were no cars behind me so everything was fine. Generally as good as the basic/advanced autopilot of the Tesla as it was also slowing down randomly but for different reasons.

Haven't tried it in the city because where I live it requires a general arterial inelegance to navigate the roads, so maybe in 20 years I'll let a car drive on its own here šŸ˜‚
