    My car makes it slightly difficult to change lanes if I don’t signal, some resistance on the steering wheel and a warning beep beep beep that I’m “drifting.” There are some terrible roads around here that confuse the sensors so I do a bit of steering wheel arm wrestling now and then just to keep going straight.

      That is why I turned lane assist off after a dozen false positives that felt like the car was going to steer me into danger with no benefits.

      Parking assist got turned off when parking in a garage set off a cacophony.

            The one in my wife’s car doesn’t. It just beeps when she crosses the lane and it can resist if you turn on that setting (she only has the beeping on). It’s not hard to trigger when it’s not supposed to be triggered. I always tell her she’s making the car angry.

        How strong is the lane assist in your car? If I was weak enough to even be bothered by the lane assist in my car, I’d figure it was time to stop driving. It certainly has never come close to overriding my steering.

          The wheel jerking makes me think that I’m losing control and is extremely distracting.

          It isn’t about losing tug of war, it is about losing focus.

      I hate all that. Bro I hate of my mouse sensor has angle snapping, prediction, acceleration, or smoothing.

      I loathe the concept of electronic throttle bodies and anything after 2005 has them. I don’t want my car to get to think about it after I press the throttle. Air now! Goddamn asthmatic cars. I don’t even want a manual transmission.
