That is the result of driving in an illegal manner... (don't get me started about drivers swerving left and right without ever using a blinker....) I think we have reached the limit how far we can stray from the EV topic on this list.

A friend said he rented a big SUV and it had collision assist. He said if you tried to change lanes without the blinker it would jerk you back in the lane. He said it almost made he hit someone a couple of times so he had to turn it off. It would take some getting used to for sure.
