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

    Fuck that. I get so many false positives when not changing lanes but there are faded lines in construction zones or when signaling and then merging into a turn lane that has a line too solid for the sensors that I turn that crap off. Yes, I did have it beep and jerk the wheel when my signal was on multiple times.

    No, using your turn signal correctly doesn’t mean lane departure always works correctly. It is a crutch for people who don’t pay attention while driving and is far from perfect.

      Relatively light gouges/scrapes in the road can pack with snow. Voila, new white line. Constantly sets off the lane departure. In the winter. When things are slippery. On mountain roads.

      My vehicle JUST beeps. If it tried to “correct” the steering it could very easily get someone killed.

      I don’t mind the beeps (false positive… nothing gained but nothing lost), but no fucking way I’m letting a computer take the wheel.
