Example for braking: A car ahead of me in a lane to the right of me moves a bit left for the moment in order to give more space for a bicycle. My car brakes. I could get rear-ended.
Example for lane following: I veer left a bit to avoid a bit of scrap wood with nails sticking out. The car counters this, steering me back toward the debris.
- wtallis 8y agoNobody is trying to say that driver assist systems will be perfect. But we're trying to get you to understand that perfect isn't the goal. The scenarios you outline are relatively far-fetched and their consequences are less severe than the crashes automatic emergency braking and lane keeping assistance are designed to prevent. Simply constructing a hypothetical situation in which these technologies might be less than perfect does nothing to support your position that they are not a net improvement to safety.
