I have a modern car (2019) and the auto braking, collision and lane drift alert is a nuisance. False positives are common and there is no way to disable most of it. Some of it can be turned off but as soon as the car is restarted it resets to the default. I've even had the car emergency brake and come to a complete stop in the middle of the road due to a phantom collision. As soon as I pay it off I am going to sell it and roll back to an earlier model without all this mandated, modern tech and keep the older car rolling till I die. We will become like Cuba keeping 50's cars running into the 70's or even the 80's and this time it won't be due to the commies but the fascists.

Name the car brand and model. Not all implementations are so bad, so it’s important to raise awareness of the bad ones.

Seconded, better yet a public registry of locations and situations where these systems go off so that manufacturers can include these in their tests.

Weird that you cannot disable the collision warning and lane keeping. What Make/model is it?

[jacquesm]

Usually you can disable it but on a per-ride basis and it takes a lot of menu scrolling and tapping to do it again. It defaults to 'on' when you start the car, and there is no physical switch to disable it permanently.

Yeah, I meant it's weird you cannot just disable it and have that saved across starts. Mine allows me to disable those features and they don't turn back on when you restart the vehicle. I don't think AEB is a feature that can be disabled though. Just the collision avoidance feature. They are similar, but not the same. AEB is supposed to only trigger when a crash is imminent while collision avoidance is what triggers when it thinks you are about to have a crash that can be averted. I've never had AEB trigger, but CA triggers regularly enough that I know when to expect it now.

If that had been the case I would have still driven that car... very frustrating because - touchscreen aside - it was a nice and comfy car and I had planned to make it the last car I ever bought.

I imagine there is no permanent disable because it is a "safety" feature. But at least on my Subaru disabling it is a physical button. No scrolling and tapping required. On the other hand, it also works well enough that I haven't felt a need to disable it.

On my 21 Subaru I disable lane assist unless I’m on the highway. It’s too strong on the wheel, and there are too many construction related lane issues near me that have almost caused accidents for me multiple times.

Do you not have strength settings on the lane keeping? My 2020 Kia Telluride lets me control how strong the lane keeping is with 3 levels.
