Ever drive on a construction zone where they've started to rip up pavement and half the lane is an inch higher than the other half? Ever change lanes into that lane, and feel the steering fight you or lurch as you cross that lip?
The problem isn't the strength needed to overcome the lane assist. It's easy to fight it. The problem comes when you know you are well centered in the lane. But, all the sudden, you're being pushed left or right, and you have to quickly determine whether you're feeling uneven pavement. Or maybe a tie rod end or a ball joint has some slop in it. Maybe the power steering pump is leaking and running dry. Or, maybe the fucking lane assist thinks a strip of tar in the middle of the lane is a lane marker, and it wants me to cross the centerline.
The problem isn't whether or not I can take it in a fair fight. The problem is that it throws a punch.
Well, that's kind of what I'm saying. That's insane. In my truck I wouldn't even describe the lane assist as a nudge. It's just barely enough to be perceivable. Certainly nothing that's going to make me question anything other than if I'm over the line.
You've become conditioned to consider a "nudge" to be lane assist helpfully pushing on the steering wheel, to move you toward the center of the lane. Your muscle memory reacts to such a nudge by accepting it, allowing it.
30 years of driving has conditioned me to consider a "nudge" to be an indication that something is pushing on the car, moving me away from where I intend to be. My muscle memory reacts to such a nudge by immediately arresting that push and reversing it.
No, I haven't been conditioned into anything. 38 years of driving taught me to be able to tell what is happening because I'm aware of the road. I know I didn't just drive off the edge of the road, because I know where the road is and I know where my tires are.
I've had lane assist in my truck for 2 years and I learned what it feels like. However, it's clear that different manufacturers implemented it differently. All I can say is, it appears Honda got it right.
Different cars have different levels of pushing back. My in laws' Subaru twisted hard like bumping a curb while my Honda was a slight bit of resistance.
