I tried VW(+Skoda), BMW, and Stelantis(Citroen/DS/Peugeot models) "Autosteer" in past year(changing comanies, waiting for new company car to be build while having Hertz rentals), plus I had autosteer with adaptive CC in Skoda from 2018.
It got a lot better over the 2018 thing, that tried to crash itself on several roadworks, I actually almost scratch the car in first 100km I had it because of it.
My latest BMW works perfectly fine in German roadworks with bright yellow lanes,
Also all the stelantis cars I've driven (all 2020+ models) worked fine in that conditions.
Camera system has problems when there's fog, or direct sun in precise angles.
Radar has problems where there's lot of rain, and rainsplash from trucks, or snowy conditions, and the front radar gets frozen.
But it's awesome as assistive system.
- cjrp 4y agoSkoda/VW lane assist feels like it would bounce you back and forth between the lane markings if you just let it do it's thing; more useful a backup system to stop you crossing the line when you have a lapse in concentration (which is how they describe it I believe).
- cvak 4y agoThey have several tiers of it I believe, the best one also offers automatic lane change, like BMW, it was actually working perfectly fine for me, with no back and forth bouncing - it had the annoying <steer a bit or I don't think you are holding the steering wheel> feature (Karoq 2018) - but newer models I think also have capacitive steering wheel, so you can only touch it.
- cjrp 4y agoHah, ironically my experience of it is based on a 2018 Karoq (perhaps with the most basic system, as you said).
- sz4kerto 4y agoYep, its function is basically: if your child distracts you and you don't pay attention for a few seconds then it'll try preventing you sliding into the other lane. Which is fine.
