If you still have to keep your hands on the wheel, can’t watch movies or read books, etc., what is even the point?

- idopmstuff 3y agoI've made a lot of long freeway drives, and for me, even though I have to keep my eyes on the road, it's much more relaxing when the car does it. I arrive to my destination feeling much less exhausted from the drive. Anyway, that doesn't really have anything to do with the original post - all I was saying was that it is a functional product and that it's just incorrect to call it smoke and mirrors.

- freeopinion 3y agoI have several times been a passenger in a car where I wished the human driver would enable autosteer. It is disconcerting to have the lane warning alarm go off five times in a 30 minute span. I don't think most people realize how erraticly they drive. But five warnings in 30 minutes could just be 15 or 20 seconds of inattention. So more than 99% full attention. A driver assist that just smooths things out only 0.1% of the time could save the day a lot.

They can’t distinguish between real lane markings, cracks filled with sealant, old lane markings that have been painted over, etc. The worst thing is when they take over your steering wheel for these phantom departures. I hate it, and always disable these systems in rental cars.
