Does that kind of ‘driving’ really exist 99% of the time though? Without closing roads, helicopter shots and graduated filters, UK driving is mostly traffic and speed restrictions.
A motorbike opens the roads up a lot more as traffic is so easily passable but isn’t so casual before or after. -
I bloody love the lane-keeping thing on our Leon - that plus radar cruise makes long boring distances very easy. Accelerate to 80, turn cruise on and you basically don’t have to touch the pedals or steer again until you turn off. Minor adjustments to distance keep your place in traffic.
If you indicate to change lane the lane keeper doesn’t interfere and it also deactivates under 40mph so low-speed manoeuvres are fine. The radar cruise will slow you right down to a stop and then start you off again, so traffic jams become less fatiguing. I have turned all the various ‘bongs’ off though as they’re distracting. -
The height. Everything else is cool AF.

Set the distance short and carry out your overtake move before it kicks in.

I would wear a watch that was mostly day/date with a small bit for the time!

This looks like what you're looking for but I imagine the price is similarly intimidating!

I remain really impressed with our Leon (estate shape). Preferred it to drive over the equivalent golf and a massive saving.

How about this https://www.microdesignum.cz/EN/Products/MIDI-Controllers/MIDI-Piccolo-2F1D
Still not super cheap but closer!

Doesn’t that still need cleaning?
If you don’t know it’s there, the steering wheel turning without input is disconcerting to say the least! I vaguely remember the Kia and Hyundai I tested having lane-keep working at low speeds around town, which is actively unhelpful given how many obstacles are directly in your path.
