I hate the lane assist in our car, I had to shut it off. It kept steering the car back toward obstacles I was trying to avoid, like trucks with wide loads, potholes, and cyclists. I don’t know why anyone thinks that shit is a good idea. I’m sure driverless cars will make the same stupid mistakes.
Mine disconnects when I steer. Both my cars will just beep at you for actively steering across a line, though you do need to overpower the machine’s steering
Yeah that “machine’s steering” is what pisses me off (and got shut off).
I’ve been driving for decades. Hundreds of thousands of miles. Everything from small cars to pickups towing 30’ trailers, and motorhomes towing cars. I have ONE at-fault accident in my record during all that time (which likely wouldn’t have been helped by the nanny features). I do not need the help.
I’m not saying I’m perfect; I make mistakes, too. But the fucking false alarms and shit from the car is distracting. I almost hit the brakes the first time I got a false alarm, because I thought there was something seriously wrong with our new car. It’s training me to ignore the alarm, so when I actually do make a mistake it catches, I’ll probably just ignore it - making them useless.

I’ve never had issues with it because it shuts off when indicating in the direction that you are turning.
I’m not indicating when I’m sliding to the left or right within the lane I’m already in…
