My car has many of those features but calls it “driver assist” for the reason you stated. I disabled that mess immediately.

To: Tell It Right

I had a courtesy car (’24 Mercedes) with every feature imaginable. Hated it. The lane keeping was constantly warning me even though I remained in the centre of my lane, the “alertness monitor” told me I was showing fatigue every time I shoulder checked, it constantly warned me while I was changing lanes, it was just unpleasant overall. Then there was the steering assist that would suddenly vibrate the steering wheel for no apparent reason. While driving on a slightly snowy road, the traction control would apply the brakes at the oddest times.

Granted it wasn’t a top of the line S class, but I still expected more from a $75K+ automobile.

When I returned the car I told the service rep that I had named the car “Janet” after my ex-wife, for all the nagging it did
