Lane keep assist on most new cars is similarly useless. Imagine if we could fit a counter that recorded how may useful corrections the system made as opposed to how many useless corrections.... Since most people don't actually run their cars off the road and into trees, and most systems make corrections at least once per km in cars that I've driven the ration must be at least 100,000 to zero against including the system. Then add in the extra fatigue due to fighting the system and in some cases listening to audible alarms and it starts to look very pointless...
Some manufacturers do it better than others; Tesla has got it nailed, apparently MB do it pretty well, as does BMW, but the first time I drove a car with active lane-keeping, I thought the car was 'tram-tracking'... This was on a drive from Newcastle to The GC, at night, in rain...
Did it help.
Did it f--k.
