There's a recent story about car drivers expecting cars with driver aids to drive themselves.
I had my first experience of this in the shape of a loan car from my local Vauxhall dealer.
Bowling down a dual carriageway at 60mph, there was an odd steering sensation as I attempted to move from lane one to lane two to overtake.
Rather as if there was a shallow kerb in the middle of the road, which there was not, but I did have to fight the wheel a little to make the lane change.
Turns out the red light I had been seeing blinking on the dash was some sort of lane keeping feature.
Left to its own devices, if the car is about to wander into the next lane, the steering self-corrects to keep it in the existing lane.
Needless to say, I attempted to answer the obvious question: what if I let go of the steering wheel?
The car stayed in lane one, effectively taking a shallow right hand bend by steering away from the nearside kerb.
Very naughty of me to try it, and after a few seconds I was beeped at and told to 'take control of the steering wheel'.
Have you any experience of the latest driver aids in cars?
