They aren't though. Every car I have driven with them on lets you disable but it resets it everytime you restart the car. I agree, lane assist is dangerous.

That is true, and it is annoying.

Dad's Volvo (basically a Ford) has reversing sensors with a beep that particularly annoys me. You can turn it off by pressing a button on the radio when you've slipped it into (reverse) gear but if you then come out of gear and go back in, the beep comes back. Drives me mad.

Given the unreliability of electronic systems in modern vehicles, often costing more to rectify than the vehicle is actually worth, why anyone would want to drive something that relied more and more on electrics, especially ai is beyond belief.

even the basics ie; sat nav is flawed by multiple issues.

and ai has already proved to be unreliable and inaccurate.

I don't need a fecking machine to show me how to stay alive on the road, or anywhere else for that matter.

I agree totally.  
 

Having said that driverless taxis are arriving in London next year, and I say ‘Bring it on’. Results so far in USA show far higher levels of safety, and zero assaults by pervy taxi drivers!

but how long will they survive before they're hijacked and stripped for parts by the usual suspects.

It has its drawbacks, but the ‘modern stuff is rubbish’ crowd are just wanky old moaners.

 

Drive a 25 year old pick up truck, and compare it to the modern ones.

Gutless crap in comparison.

I agree. Driverless cars are a mint idea, I could sleep/work on a three hour journey to work.
