So if there is an obstacle on the road, the car will force you to plow into it? Damn I really do hate new cars, but it just gets worse and worse.
The automated steering motion doesn't have a lot of torque and can easily be overpowered by just holding the wheel, at which point it will disengage.
This is a fundamental design principle for automated driving assistants, similar to how the pedals overrule cruise control.
Oh that’s a good safety feature then!
Well, no. It also has collision avoidance. Theoretically it should just slam on the breaks.
Unless the object is to small but can still cause damage. I watched a new car have to slam it's brakes on and pull over quickly this morning because they hit a rock that was small enough must cars were passing over it, but large enough that it caught on the bottom of the Dodge charger and started dragging down the freeway.
