Lane assist is only good on highways. Everywhere else it's a detriment.
Even on a highway it tried to kill me once by steering into a truck I was overtaking..have it turned off ever since.
I hate it even on highways. Some cars assist is gentle and more of a ‘hey be careful’ reminder which is the best option and the one I can get behind but others have an aggressive ‘you have to fight me’ attitude even if your indicators are on. Those can burn in hell.
Only good on good highways. If you're dodging potholes and road debris it's fucking annoying.
What you mean a bunch of bells and chimes and warning lights happening every time the road markings are ambiguous isn't helpful?
