    So if there is an obstacle on the road, the car will force you to plow into it? Damn I really do hate new cars, but it just gets worse and worse.

      The automated steering motion doesn’t have a lot of torque and can easily be overpowered by just holding the wheel, at which point it will disengage.

      This is a fundamental design principle for automated driving assistants, similar to how the pedals overrule cruise control.

      Well, no. It also has collision avoidance. Theoretically it should just slam on the breaks.

        Unless the object is to small but can still cause damage. I watched a new car have to slam it’s brakes on and pull over quickly this morning because they hit a rock that was small enough must cars were passing over it, but large enough that it caught on the bottom of the Dodge charger and started dragging down the freeway.
