Context: lane departure systems depend on you using your turn signals so it knows no action is needed from it

    Idk, I had a rental with a lane departure and it almost made me crash. I was on the highway, turned my turn signal on to indicate I wanted to change lanes, waited a second or two, began turning into the other lane to make the change, and the fucking thing activated and forcefully slammed me back into the lane I had been in, despite the fact that my turn signal was on and no other cars were close to me. I almost lost control and immediately disabled it and left it disabled.

      Yeah, the auto lane correction is bad. If you have to avoid a biker or person walking or anything else, the car should not fight you

      I set mine to warning only, I don’t mind the beeping. It might help if I’m drifting over or something - the difference is, the sound doesn’t take control away from me.

      I’m starting to learn there’s an in-between of lane departure systems and more fleshed out automatic “driver assistance” systems lol

      I’ve only driven cars that if they had it was just at most a wheel vibrate and beep, which if it’s a false positive it’s a mild annoyance
