Has anyone really looked into Pilot Assist, at least the lane-keeping part? I'm disappointed.
My wife had a CR-V and now a Ridgeline, both with "LKAS" - Lane Keeping Assist System - which will steer the car between lines - for the most part. I've used it while going cross-country on isolated highways to be able to take my hands off the wheel for a little while; have some food/drink, send a message, etc. I never used it in traffic or busy areas, etc. I found it to be VERY helpful on long driving trips!
Enter Volvo -- the Pilot Assist won't work unless your hands are on the wheel and apparently providing some input. And it seems to fight my input more than help it; if I relax my grip on the wheel very much, it'll fault and turn itself off because I'm not "steering".
So... .what the heck is the point? (He said, in a rant-y voice and perplexed expression)
No, seriously, I think it's useless as designed. What's your take?
