First of all, Tesla's lane departure avoidance system is active and intelligent. In 2010, Kia's system yells at you and doesn't have the capability to actively avoid an accident with another vehicle by returning you to your lane.

In-fact most systems in the last few years all only "weigh" on the steering wheel, they don't actively steer the vehicle to return it to it's lane they just know "I know you don't want to go over that line without a signal" - very different and may not avoid an accident.

If you've actually put these systems to the test like Honda's system they've had since 2015....they suck. I test drove a fully loaded 2017 Honda Accord and the mistakes it made were atrocious and dangerous. I decided to just wait for a Tesla at that point.

Case in point: God forbid you cut 1ft of the yellow line at a highway exit or the Honda will yank your steering wheel so hard you move all the way beyond the white line on the other side of your lane due to the curvature of the actual road not being accounted for properly by the naive emergency road departure system.

If that is true, there must be numerous lawsuits and recalls to account for all the deaths.
