> isn't really anything _Tesla_ specific about this situation

My Subaru has lane-keeping tech. It's an absolute nag about my keeping my hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. I've driven a Tesla, and it's more lackadaisical.

It nags a lot on model 3/y in Europe unless it’s very slow stop and go traffic. Similarly than other brands. It will even put you in "jail" mode if you don’t react quickly to the nag too many times during a drive (didn’t happen to me as I’m obviously the most perfect driver).

In my experience Tesla is pretty strict, especially now with the driver camera able to tell if you are watching the road. With the new driver cam it cares less about you applying pressure to the wheel but it's still pretty nagging.

My Volvo on the other hand (which has Lane Keep Assist with Adaptive Cruise Control) will gladly just slowly drift into the other lane sometimes (not always) if I don't correct it.

Edit: who the heck downvotes someone sharing their personal experiences? It's not like I'm fan boy-ing out. Sigh.
