    My car makes it slightly difficult to change lanes if I don’t signal, some resistance on the steering wheel and a warning beep beep beep that I’m “drifting.” There are some terrible roads around here that confuse the sensors so I do a bit of steering wheel arm wrestling now and then just to keep going straight.

      That is why I turned lane assist off after a dozen false positives that felt like the car was going to steer me into danger with no benefits.

      Parking assist got turned off when parking in a garage set off a cacophony.

        It was when I was holding leftmost lane position passing a semi and it beeped and tried to steer me into said semi that I decided it can fuck off for ever lol

        How strong is the lane assist in your car? If I was weak enough to even be bothered by the lane assist in my car, I’d figure it was time to stop driving. It certainly has never come close to overriding my steering.

          The wheel jerking makes me think that I’m losing control and is extremely distracting.

          It isn’t about losing tug of war, it is about losing focus.

            The one in my wife’s car doesn’t. It just beeps when she crosses the lane and it can resist if you turn on that setting (she only has the beeping on). It’s not hard to trigger when it’s not supposed to be triggered. I always tell her she’s making the car angry.
