DUI of alcohol or mobile phones is a public heath hazard. A regulation mandating car manufacturers to throttle the speed and acceleration if the vehicle swerves or cross solid white lines can go a long way in saving innocent lives.

And if you've ever driven in icy conditions—it's not ideal but it happens—any kind of automatic correction is dangerous. There are also plenty of circumstances where it's okay to cross solid white lines. So the devil is in the implementation details. How sensitive is it? How does it determine the difference between a driver who's avoiding an emergency versus about to cause one? What does it do when it thinks something is wrong? Could there be a good version that informs unsafe drivers that they're not okay? Sure. There could also be a lot of bad versions.
