I have actually been in a car crash that was caused by the lane-assist feature in the Rivian R1S. It misread the proximity of the concrete K-rails on each side and jerked the steering wheel into the wrong lane. The correction of the driver to avoid (dangerously) switching lanes kicked the back of the car out at 75mph and we drifted, hitting one rail, bouncing off and hitting the other.
It was a violent enough collision to write off the car, but fortunately the construction of the vehicle saved us and nobody had any particularly severe injuries. I now am adamant about drivers not experimenting with those features while I am in the car because I don't trust them.
