Presumably it's using an optical sensor to see the white lines. Find the sensor, and stick some tape over it?

[YZ250]

This is an example of what confuses the sensor. The road has multiple repairs and shiny strips of tarmac, so if you want a laugh, let go of the steering wheel and let the car decide where it wants to go. 



You’ll note that this road has a kerbside white line. It adds to the fun with no kerbside white line.

I was gonna buy one of them beemers, glad I didn't bother now 

I bet you were gonna get a Bell End Purple one, as the residual values are higher because that's what all the drug dealers want? 

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Who decided lane assist was so f*ucking necessary to save us all from ourselves?.

I'll wager it was some lentil loving vegan in his twenties from north London with pink hair and pronouns.

I'm pretty sure you have to keep the car on the road to pass the driving test in the first place......and if you can't you shouldn't be on the road.

Other than using it to get you home from the pub after 17 pints of Wifebeater ale I can't see the need for it.

I've found a shortcut that can disable it in 4 rather than 8 prods so that is something, I suppose.

Pretty sure that the system on my car was braking individual wheels to make the car change direction.

This 'lane assist' bollix sounds a bit unnerving to me. 

Mind you I still think that parking sensors are a technological wonder!

It's a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

Shame once it's set that it can't be saved as a driver setting

Same as leccy parking/hand brakes

Wanna buy a nice old Omega ?

Wanna buy a nice old Omega ? 

Do you know anyone that's got one? 

[Kevin Wood]

Her XE, the land assist seems to be sticky, in the it stays off between starts.  Actually, I think the shitbox Vauxhall 208 Enterprise keep giving me has a sticky lane assist toggle...

Yep, mine stays off too, although it only does the vibrate thing. That's annoying enough, and what's the use of a safety feature that relies on road markings being adequately maintained in this country?  .

MEEEEEE. 

Its not for sale though.

There are usually two levels,

Lane departure warning which should not activate if you are using indicators when changing lane or using a junction...........its a BMW so clearly the indicators are not an option.
……..

That’s not the problem on BMW’s Mark, the problem is that the software will see a shiny tarmac repair strip running inline with the road as a white line and physically move the car out of line. It’s downright dangerous, but on the earlier (2020) vehicles fitted with virtual cockpit you can turn it off each time you start up, but not disable it permanently I believe. When turned off, the little green car between the two lines on the display disappears.

They all do that, they are more than happy to guide you towards the central reservation if they see a long removed contraflow burn strip on the tarmac
