My car keeps screaming at me to keep my hands on the wheel, WHILE I'M FUCKING HOLDING IT.
Dude. I'm never buying a new car. That shit is insane.
You black with a black steering wheel or white with a white one?
My car's lane assist deactivates if the road is too straight because I haven't moved the steering wheel in too long. The only way to get it back is to swerve a bit.
My FIL shared that the lane assist tried to swerve into oncoming traffic shortly after they bought their new car with all the assist bells and whistles. On the other hand my MIL shouldn't be driving and genuinely had the drowsy assist force her to be a bit safer. I'm seriously waiting for the day she finally loses her license either for drunk driving or just speeding/tailgating/illegally passing etc. excessively
Your car (Tesla?) has no sensors on the wheel that can detect your hands. That’s why you need to jerk the wheel every couple of seconds.
God no. It's a Peugeot, and light hands on black wheel. But the other comment says it has no sensors, except the ones that detect movement of the wheel. so apparently i just have to jerk the wheel randomly, like a BMW driver and it will stop yelling at me.
Exactly, other cars do have ‘hand-detection-sensors’ so you on my have to touch the wheel. I would assume current BMWs should have it.
So, what you are saying is, i"m driving too good, so the car thinks I'm not there? And we want to let those dumb things drive themselves?
Because they are the fools?
