The "lane assist" is very dangerous. I don't understand how this got in cars to begin with, nevermind become mandatory.

It's super "fun" with temporary marking around road works. I bet it works perfectly in a lab but in the real world..


I don't understand how this got in cars to begin with, nevermind become mandatory.

Invent thing, fund some studies that show a statistically significant safety improvement. lobby rule- and law-making bodies to make it mandatory. If anyone declines, run a PR campaign saying 'Jurisdiction bureaucrats/Obstructive Lawmaker want to KILL YOU & YOUR FAMILY.'


I've never had a point where it is dangerous. It vibrates the steering wheel and that's it. Even on the autobahn's 2.20m wide roadwork left lanes it works good/not bad enough I just leave it on. Lane keeping is not mandatory, only a warning system.


I had it behave dangerously on a VW Atlas I rented, driving south out of Atlanta. A section of 85 has those half black, half white high-contrast stripes, and I had to firmly grip the wheel for the entire section because the lane keeping system was constantly trying to correct.


I guess it depends on the maker. For my car it nudges the wheel back into the lane in addition to vibrating.


Yep, it does, our VW also nudges back to the lane. The annoying thing is that you can only disable it by stepping through two pages on the on-board screen, though I think many newer models just have a button on the steering wheel to toggle it.


I had lane keeping “assist” in a Subaru Forrester rental car almost kill me and my family by trying to push us into the path of a very large truck last year.


That's a good "decision" but I hope someday they focus on reducing that to one consise sentence instead of 4 sloppy ones.


"after 2019" - you cannot be serious here right?


Yo dawg..


Define "us"


> compared to e.g. many popular places in Europe

Citation and lots of specification needed.


> emailing themselves

These are supposedly our brightest minds..


This is true but these projects are rarely presented or interpreted as a proof of concept.


I think this is really an indictment of the platform. Much more stuff should be covered by the browser.


I vote we bring back <marquee> next: https://ark-ui.com/docs/components/marquee


this is actually true; the web was done so terribly to begin with on day one, that we have been paying the price of compatibility thereto ever since.


The web was for hyperlinked documents (and forms?). And it’s still does the job beautifully. It was never an UI toolkit.
