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.

I almost hit pedestrians (twice!) because our Hyundai Kona re-enables the lane correction thing at each boot (I don’t know how to say “boot” but for cars, in english. But you get the gist). And I forget it’s there, and it’s literally life-threatening.
(there are no curbs here, pedestrians have to walk on the roads)

That’s easy, it’s pronounced “Trunk”
Edit: It was a joke!

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.
Meanwhile BMW motorcycles be like “only 50 degree max lean? You ride like my grandma!”

No I mean to… start ? start a car ? that sounds too simple,… but I don’t want to look in the dictionary

I love to drive my E46 (my guilty pleasure) and I confirm that giving a signal is an unnecessary burden.

I think this is kind of on the edge of definition. Historically, you’d say “start” a car, but these days with cars practically being computers…I dunno. Hell, my car is just always on. I just get in and go, I don’t “start” it at all. Occasionally, it has an issue and I have to manually reboot it, so…
As a native English speaker, my answer is: I don’t know, it depends.

Well thank you for this clarification

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!
