The redesign of the new BMW 2 Series coupe goes more than skin (or steel) deep, as we discuss our first impressions of its ride, handling, powertrain, and what separates the\\xa0coupe version of the 2 Series from the sedan option. We also consider whether the driver monitoring in Ford\'s BlueCruise and GM\'s Super Cruise active driving assistance systems can lead to tunnel vision behind the wheel, and potentially cause drivers to zone out on the highway.
