It has great lane departure warning and it&amp;#x27;s very accurate. It picks up the difference between solid&amp;#x2F;double&amp;#x2F;broken white lines and lane changing&amp;#x2F;merging&amp;#x2F;splitting. We took it around a local race track and it followed the track markings on everything but a hairpin which it applies brakes and took us to a complete stop. If it wasn&amp;#x27;t for the driver attention settings (no steering wheel feedback from driver, the car will also stop) it could have almost been an unassisted drive.&lt;p&gt;Still won&amp;#x27;t trust it though</text><parent_chain><item><author>perl4ever</author><text>I have one of the cheaper cars that has some of the newly standard assistance tech, and after about six months, I think the best of it is the adaptive cruise control.
