Teslas don’t require much force at all to disengage.
- azinman2 3y agoI don’t know what BMW is like but it requires more force than I think is safe.
- soco 3y agoMy 10yo VW only nudges you gently, no force required to steer it your way. Even that nudge is annoying to some, but it's definitely not dangerous.
- tshaddox 3y agoI have a 2020 Subaru that requires very little force to move the steering wheel when lane centering is engaged. My Tesla Model 3 requires a bit more force, but it's still quite light.
- cchance 3y agoI mean barely any, but also you can tap break, or hit the stalk, like theirs a billion ways to disable, a crash if FSD is enabled actually, was because the driver didn't even try to stop it.
- bombcar 3y agoThe Kia lane following, if anything, is a bit too weak (it follows more lazily than I would) but it certainly doesn't require any major force to overcome it - and most important - it does NOT disengage if you nudge it back to the right place, it just accepts the new normal and keeps going. Similarly it's smart enough to NOT disengage cruise control if you hit the gas, but will if you tap the brakes (which you don't often need to do because the space management works decently well). Ten years ago I would feel pretty comfortable driving any vehicle (up to and including double-shifted manual transmission military trucks). Now I feel each new car needs a separate training regiment because all the automated systems operate so differently from each other.
