Context: lane departure systems depend on you using your turn signals so it knows no action is needed from it

    I agree with the sentiment but I also don’t like a lot of modern “safety” systems. Many are just a box-ticking exercise for star ratings and arguably do more harm than good. If you’ve ever had lane keeping blindly follow lane markings in roadworks with temporary redirections in place I’m sure you know what I mean!

      Doesn’t even need to be roadworks! I live in a rural area and a lot of the smaller streets have no markings at all. But somehow my car detects something and likes to slightly swerve into oncoming traffic. Also really fun that it turns on automatically whenever you start the car.
