It's not accurate to say that it overrides your steering; it combines its decisions with yours—like on an aircraft where the co-pilot has access to the same steering controls as the pilot.
Personally I think lane keeping systems are mostly junk. Unless an automation (e.g. transmissions, adaptive cruise, auto headlights, auto wipers, lane keeping) does the not-wrong thing 99.9%* of the time, it doesn't lower cognitive load on the driver and is therefore pointless. If I still have to concentrate on staying in my lane, I'd much rather be 100% responsible for it instead of 1% responsible.
* Not sure how many nines, but probably more than that.
- bjelkeman-again 7y agoI am not sure I follow. Maybe we use different terminology. The car decides I am leaving my lane in an unsafe way, it does two things: it beeps loudly at me and it steers to avoid the side of the road. I can feel how it overrides my steering input. Tesla’s lane keeping system is on 95% of the time during long trips. I rarely have to intervene and it is always obvious that I have to. I would rather not be without. But the good thing is one can chose not to use it.
