    I can’t stand lane assist that tries to keep you in the lane by actually moving or vibrating the steering wheel. To me, it feels like the car is slipping. That shit gets turned off right away. But I have driven some cars where the lane assist just beeps, and doesn’t force the wheel at all, I can deal with that.

    I find HUDs extremely distracting, they get turned off too.

    Adaptive Cruise Control is extremely useful, I love that one.

      Pro tip, if you signal when you change lane it stops the wheel vibrating. As a bonus it lets other drivers know what you’re planning on doing.

        No, silly, the problem is when it vibrates when you are nowhere near the lane dividers. I don’t drive a BMW, I know what turn signals are for.

        Except every car I’ve ever seen it implemented in malfunctions 1000 times more than it ever works properly. I always signal and find lane departure to be incredibly dangerous. If you trust your cars algorithm more than your own eyes, I don’t trust you on the road.

      I drove a Transit that had the vibrating steering wheel. Hated it. The lane assist didn’t even work right anyway so that got turned off pretty quickly.
