I agree that this is unlikely.
I have a new model car with all the lane-assist and following whizz-bangs. I'll never use them. When the lane markers get challenging and difficult to understand is when the assistance turns off and reverts to the human. Typically about 1 second before disaster were to strike. If it were even 10 seconds beforehand, then I'd maybe try using it again. But the 1 second window is too short for my personal limits. The assistance is completely backwards to me. I don't need it when lane markings are clear and easy to understand, I need it when they are unclear. Like, I don't need a translator to Swahili for most of the day in Mombasa, but I do need one when going over legal documents.
