I own a BMW EV. The latest update dialed the "lane correction" to 11. If you do not use your signal light before exiting or switching lanes, the vehicle will steer you back in your lane. It is the most aggressive "lane correct" default behaviour of any vehicle I've driven so far, almost as if BMW knows what is required to train their drivers.
Probably not to the same level of lane-correct-agressiveness, but my SIL's Volkswagen's lane correct is insane. The roads around here aren't great, and it will often detect random streaks or lines of potholes as a lane and refuse to allow you to avoid them. Once an elk ran in front of the car and when my brother tried to swerve to avoid the damn car fought him so hard we only narrowly missed it. And at other times when on roads with no lane markings at all it randomly decides that the road isn't the road, and that ditch over there is the lane we're supposed to be in.
All that said, it works great most of the time, and we just turn it off if it's acting hinkey
The biggest problem is when they don't indicate when they're changing road. They'll be driving along and suddenly they'll slam on their brakes and turn left, zero warning.
They're absolutely a nightmare on roundabouts. You have no idea where they're going, so you have to just sit there until they've left, it's the only safe way to handle them.
I find this is all cars. They’ll either not indicate or indicate a ms before making a move. It’s as though they don’t understand they’re indicating for others benefit.
BMW drivers seem to be on their phones an awful lot for a car with no signal
I don't signal because it's none of your business where I'm going!
Alt punchline: Of course, he gave no signal that he was changing jobs.
