I recently got a BMW i4 (their electric mid-size sedan). These new cars beep if you start to stray to the next lane without first engaging the turn signal.
My company’s Sprinter van goes as far as yanking you back to your lane unless you engage the turn signal first.
It’s not just specific cars around me, it’s everyone. Just today I was behind a Ford Raptor, a Cadillac, a CRV, and a tractor trailer that didn’t bother signaling.
Damn, that’s super annoying. My Ford truck has a similar feature, but at least it’s possible to turn it off permanently. I usually leave it on the “vibrate steering” / warning only mode, so if you’re distracted it’ll warn you but not actually take over.
When I first got it and was towing a trailer through some narrow curvy roads it was downright dangerous because I needed to cross the center line to stay on the road, and the truck was trying to steer me off the edge.

Damned tech ruining a good vintage meme.
Tesla is the new BMW and nobody’s using those buttons.
Ugh… I got to try those buttons the other day. Might work in an intersection. Horrible in a roundabout!!! No wonder nobody use them!
Buttons? You probably mean touch display? /s

Seems terrifying to have your car resist your driving
Yeah, I am not a fan. You can turn it off from the system settings menu, but it reactivates on restart. There is no way to disable it permanently.

Mine is a thing you have to turn on. I just have a gentle vibration on the side of the wheel that I’m spraying too close to the road on.
They still put the powerful magnet behind the license plate though so it will be pulled up right behind the car in front of them.
