Apparently it can't tell the difference between a dotted line and a solid line. In theory this system is supposed to only work if you move out of lane without indicating, but on the MKS it's apparently hard-wired on all the time. That being said, it doesn't work if you take your hands of the wheel - that cancels the lane-departure system so it won't "auto drive". I did manage to find part of the wheel that wasn't loaded with sensors so I could steer, but the car didn't think I was holding the wheel so the lane departure system was off, meaning I could actually do what I wanted.<br /><br />Or I suppose I could have tried taping a soda can to the wheel like this guy did :<br /><a href="http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.roadandtrack.com%2Fcar-videos%2Fforget-the-google-car-get-an-s-class-and-a-soda-can&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNGl2DoYL2ZRmI3XrNIjPBMxR3cHQQ" rel="nofollow">Soda can steering</a><br /><br />Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15322134770888868709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239694080870817712.post-59688351786750794532014-08-04T07:55:17.752-06:002014-08-04T07:55:17.752-06:00That's ridiculous.

What about on a multilane road, how would you change lanes?<br />Do you know how it worked? Does it have sensors monitoring the centerlines???Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15041821712022471596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239694080870817712.post-12414961986912493392014-07-28T15:00:09.690-06:002014-07-28T15:00:09.690-06:00That sounds like a cause for naming and shaming.That sounds like a cause for naming and shaming.Silas Humphreyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10639832677140104872noreply@blogger.com
