"In the hypothesis that it’s actually kind of easy to figure out if somebody is impaired ..."
I am the (unfortunate) owner of a brand new Audi eTron which (unfortunately) comes standard with some form of lane assist.
This "feature" is regularly nudging me (literally) onto steering trajectories I deliberately did not choose - sometimes dangerously so.
These nudges represent judgements made by the software that are understandable from a primitive and one-dimensional view but shockingly bad from the viewpoint of the entire landscape around me as I am driving.
On some occasions I truly believe I avoided serious injury or death by working against the feature[1].
We will learn these things. There will be blood. It could have been avoided.
[1] Two lane road with no shoulders passing a bicyclist with the California mandated passing margin ... while the steering is fighting to bring me back to my lane and kill the biker.
