I drove some 2-door Volvo that almost sent me into a truck that was next to me in the middle of a turn on a highway. Actually it didn't work in any turns (as in did nothing, most of the time). Terrible thing, especially considering that there was absolutely no clear mark anywhere on the dashboard that it's enabled and I was driving 200 km/h (on autobahn in Germany) when the situation with a truck happened. I also never found out how to disable that thing, thankfully I didn't have to drive on the way home.
I own a Ford Mondeo (the 2008 high end variant) and it would not disengage when marks on the right side disappear, left is enough - but that is a problem because it'll resist if I try to go to the right (if there is a split) and I guess that a very similar accident to the Tesla one could happen but we have no places like that around here so I can't test. I don't use the system.
- gamblor956 8y agoThe 2008 Ford Mondeo doesn't have lane assist, only lane departure warning, so it wouldn't have done anything other than signal when you start leaving a lane. Ford didn't offer lane assist until the 2010s. I can't comment on the Volvo, since you don't say what model it is.
- TomMarius 8y agoSorry I confused the model year. It's MK4 but after facelift with BLIS system. I don't know what model the Volvo was, something recent from around 2015. It's not my/my family's car.
