It's really important that drivers can control their car at all times. Software should not override control because it "thinks" that you are making a mistake.

This seems like a recipe for disaster when you are in a situation in which you need to respond quickly to an unexpected circumstance.

I can't speak to every car, but my experience is the lanekeeping assist applies very little force to the wheel and if you're making any sort of emergency maneuver you'll go straight through it and feel a slight bump warning you that the car thinks you're crossing the line. If you push against it at all it doesn't stop you. Maybe it even stops trying to apply force entirely if you resist its initial nudge.

I thought it might be annoying when I first got a car with LKA, but I've yet to have any complaints about it.

Classic Tesla owner.

Some people only use their turn signal when other people are around.

I think that's an odd behavior. As far as I'm concerned, using the signal is just as much of part of a lane change as is turning the wheel. Be in the habit of using it every time and you'll never forget it.

The other thing about only using your turn signal when other people are around, is that what you're actually doing is using your turn signal when you're aware of other people being around.

Especially as a pedestrian I think a lot of drivers are basically blind to your existence and then don't bother to signal turns because if they don't notice you then why would they need to warn anyone of what they're about to do with their 6000 pound metal box? And besides, are pedestrians really people anyway?

No, I always indicate. I am saying Tesla’s various safety systems frequently have false positives. Ask people who tried to get into the FSD beta program how reliable these systems are.
