On the Toyota Prius (2016-) you can have the lane departure warning on, while turning off the steering assist.

The steering assist was one of the first things I turned off on it, otherwise it might activate literally every time I drive home. There's also construction all over the place, so... yeah.

I pity someone stepping into one of these cars for the first time with this feature enabled.

Lane(Lane assist does fell like it's trying to kill you! There are times where I don't want to be in the middle of the lane, like when passing a truck on a windy day

This can be disabled in Ford’a S-MAX as well. (Unsurprising because these systems all we provided by Bosch and co.). I turned it off when it almost ran into the car next to me at the toll booth because of the lines on the roads before the toll booth that nobody follows.
