Conversely, after a conversation with a coworker about his rental car some years ago, I think the lane-minders should be permanently on.
"The steering wheel vibrates and the car beeps at me every time I change lanes! It's pissing me off!"
Dude never used his turn signals except on that one trip after I told him it would stop it
As someone who frequently rents cars for work, the safety and assist features on newer cars are super clutch 99% of the time. The stuff like blind spot alerting, auto braking, backup cameras rule. It's really just all the "luxury" shit that sucks.
lane assist can be fucked up if you don't use your turn signals, i've seen it straight up jerk you back into your lane
That's the point!
yeah sorry i'm saying if a dumbass makes a move with lane assist and they're not aware of how it works and it jerks them back into their lane it can cause other issues like overcorrection
