I have a Kia with “smart” lane assist, reactive braking.
In the manual there are pages of warnings about inaccuracies in the lane assist. False readings from verges, roadside furniture, bends, faded road markings etc. I find it giving false warnings on many roads, bends, worn surfaces.

My Mercedes comes standard with a camera fitted in the front screen and sat nav, it flashes every speed limit change even temporary speed limit changes to my central instrument cluster, it is unerringly accurate and has to-date recognised every change in speed limit. It would be quite easy to, collect that data along with my actual speed for enforcement agencies to act upon it, should the requisite legislation allow it..
