Side cameras, automatic braking, person avoidance, lane keeping?
I had a vehicle with lane keeping and if I were a cop, I'd think I was drunk the way it weaved back and forth. It was a 2017 though, I hope it's improved but it seemed like a gimmick. I've never experienced the others, are they legit safety features, or just stuff to bullet point?
I've turned off lane keeping on my 2023 Audi A4. However, everything else is useful including and especially the passive improvements.
It's not just active stuff - the passive stuff has improved as well (crumple zones for instance): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TikJC0x65X0&t=19s
Can you give some examples? The only safety innovation I can think of recently the side airbags. The backup camera, which is a huge improvement to backing up accidents was probably over 15 years ago.
