My Kia likes to trigger the ~~AEB~~ Collision Avoidance warning when people are turning off the road in front of me. It's really only triggered when it _thinks_ a vehicle is in my path, but it's really exiting the path and just still in the periphery. I get about as many false positive type events with the lane keeping feature. I've learned, the hard way, that not all lane markings are to spec. The worst are when you have a side road and the solid white line curves off the road but they don't have a dotted white line continuing straight. The car loves to pull to the right in those cases. Not hard, but enough that you know it's being daft.
Yeah the lane keeping for sure is bad because even if perfect there is a lot of real word situations where one needs to deviate from the center of the lane.
So unless the vehicle is fully self driving to the level of an alert good driver, it’s going to mess up. And lane keeping is definitely not claiming to be that.
The lane departure warning beep is fine even although its 90% false alerts for me due to non-lane lines or snow etc, and 9% when two lanes merge and I get lazy about the turn signal with no cars around. But if I were to get more tired or something it could be a helpful alert of last resort to stop driving, hope I never wait that long though because that would be dangerous.
I find the lane keeping and departure warnings lessen the cognitive load on driving. I find I'm able to expand my focus when driving a bit more and improve my overall situational awareness. Overall, I'd say it's a great thing. That and 360 degree birds-eye view cameras when parking are safety features that all cars should have.
