It is. If you have a
Which? subscription I recommend checking out the recent articles on ADAS.
e.g.:
"When testing an MG4 last year, our lab testers noticed unusual behaviour with its lane-departure warning and lane-keep assistance systems.
On one occasion, when the tester drove on a narrow country road and had to pass another car coming the other way, the MG4’s lane-keep assistance steered away from the nearside edge of the road and towards the centre – and the oncoming car.
On a wider road with a clearly defined centre line, the lane-keep technology then twice decided that the car had left its intended lane and pulled it onto the wrong side of the road."
As mentioned earlier, these systems are mandatory on all new cars but as the Consumers Association has found, most of them have had little or no testing in typical UK driving conditions.
