Self driving Jazz?

[Neil Ives]

I discovered LKAS today. I knew that if I wandered too close to the edge of the road the car would try to turn the wheels away from the edges of the road, (even if there is no white line by the way). I didn't realise until I saw a video of someone trying it that the car will drive itself. I had the car in cruise control, my hands were lightly holding the wheel, the car was making the bends in the road by itself. If I took my hands off the wheel a red warning popped up. It seems the steering wheel needs a small nudge from the driver every few seconds. I don't imagine I'll be using self-drive but it's an interesting novelty.

On a recent long motorway journey, I found the lane assist feature invaluable. Combined with the adaptive cruise I found it really helped to make the trip far less  fatiguing.

I don't use it on shorter drives, but i'm glad it's there to use when needed.

Is it legal to use in the UK?

Yes, if you take your hands off the wheel for any amount of time it sounds an alarm so you can't just sit back and do nothing. It's fine on motorways but I tried using it on a dual carriageway with sharper corners and it needed some help steering round some of those

The system seemed to need a little input from the driver; not just a contact on the wheel. I imagine the electric steering has a feedback sensor.

Then we apparently have a different EX...
Just holding the wheel for a short moment is enough to make that weird red warning disappear. No need to "help" the car.

A contact touch was not enough for me. Even a slight grip would be sensed as a driver intervention.
