First day after getting the car, lane steering intervention tried to kill me twice on the highway 101.
Driving completely straight, it suddenly and forcefully steered the car into the next lane. I was shocked but I was paying attention to the road and was able to counter and correct. Several minutes later, it did the exact same thing, but this time to the opposite lane. I was horrified. Lots of work on 101, and they change/move lanes frequently. New lane markings are there, but there is residue from old ones. Turning it off and it is going to stay off. |

While it has never yet veered me onto traffic, I usually enable navigation to my destination even if it's a familiar one. It seems to augment the gps data along with the road data to provide a more seamless experience |

I shut off the steering intervention almost immediately after picking up my car. The road markings in some of the places I drive are lousy so I found it was more work (extra alertness required) for me to undo the un-needed interventions than just driving the car normally. I still have the vibration on though. I do not recall exactly but I think the genius had set it to medium. I may try setting it to early to see if I like it that way.

steering intervention is purportedly 'better' with firmware 07/2021. * fingers crossed *

For the Cruise Control with Steering where the car auto steers to the center of the lane (and changes lanes on command), it works very well. It will on occasion not be able to discern the lane markings at which time it will flash the yellow wheel at you to tell you to steer. This isn't often and typically recovers in a few seconds. It does better on curves than on the older build. And it works really well if you have a route enabled in Nav as it can use the route to improve guidance. One caveat is that it keeps the car centered in the lane. Most drivers tend towards the inside of the lane on curves, so this can be disconcerting. Overall, I consider this a great benefit. It definitely reduces fatigue on long drives. If you're not using cruise control, the lane departure warning isn't noticeably different from before. If you have intervention on, it can pick some odd times to intervene. I noticed it was particularly annoying going through intersections on multi-lane roads where the lanes aren't perfectly aligned and there are left turn markings in the middle of the intersection. And as the OP pointed out, it doesn't like construction zones where there are new and old lane markings visible. I keep the Steering Intervention turned off. The vibration on the wheel is enough to alert me when I'm wrong and it's easy to ignore when it's not really helping. Gerry

In my opinion the Driving Assistance Professional package is a must have. Not only for the driving assist features but also for the extra safety features that you get.

Keeping in your lane on a curve (well, any time, actually) is something I see messed up by lots of drivers. When living in Germany, my boss got two tickets one weekend when his wheels touched the centerline going around a curve. They're very rigid about following the rules!
It can be a little disconcerting, as I agree, many people including myself tend to not always drive in the center on multi-lane roads to get a little more distance between myself and others...doesn't work when you're in the middle of a 3 or more lane wide path, though. This was on an older release, but I was on a trip on the interstate driving in the outside lane of a curve...a tractor trailer crowded my lane...the X5 alerted me to that and moved over to make room. Now, I wish HE'D had something to keep him in his lane, but the computer, sensors, and processing protected me. |

The advanced stop & go works well, but I don't do a lot of driving where it's needed. But the few times I have, it's worked very well. What doesn't work so well is steering intervention on the lane departure warning. In that mode, you are driving. If it senses you crossing a lane boundary without signaling, it generates a warning -- vibration in the wheel. With steering intervention on, it will 'push' the steering to move you back in your lane and then disengage. If you're inattentive and drifting off, it's likely a good thing. If you're actively driving, it can be annoying. As I said, it tends to get confused by intersections where lanes change widths or are not aligned. There are also those times where I'm over the line to avoid a jerk in the lane next to me. So I just leave intervention off. Gerry
