Lane Tracing Assist
Some cars now have lane tracing assist, which is a feature to help the driver merge into the next lane. The problem is that a good portion of the roads around rural America doesn’t have the best roads, and oftentimes the lane isn’t visible. So in an area like that the lane tracing assist system can be quite a deadly combination. Because if the driver isn’t paying attention they will careen into the next lane at a higher rate of speed (via Consumer Reports).
Another problem is that the cameras on these systems can become dirty and stop working correctly. A lot of drivers don’t maintain these systems how they should, and that becomes a problem too. The lane tracing assist system is a great way to make sure that the driver is safe, but that’s only when the system is working correctly. There is still a lot of work that needs to be done to make these systems safer.
