Driving ‘Assists’

I drove a car with lane assist once, turned it off sharpish. Either I’m driving, or I’m a passenger. Any other half-way situation is pure shite.

There’s no middle ground for driving automation, no happy medium. It’s a binary proposition. It can sound and look like there’s a ‘easier driving’ way, as if you can be both part driver and part passenger at the same time, but such a state does not exist.
