I guess you have two now mainstream safety systems on the Touareg. One can be turned off but leaves a constant warning that is been turned off. The other cannot be turned off.Before I retired it was only in the latter years I had a Tom Tom nav. The boot contained maps for 99% of towns and cities. I can still remember how to navigate😜
Our Kia has some lane deviation system but it is visual and verbal . Doesn't move the steering wheel. We still have control.
I think it's called Lane Departure Warning. I see there are other names Lane Keeping Assist or Lane Following Assist. Means zero to me and frankly If I need it perhaps it's time you take the bus🤪
All for passive assist systems but really don't fancy active ones.
Do these systems kick in when towing ?
I have no problem with autonomous aids as they may enhance my safety if they are fitted to another drivers car, plus no matter how careful and attentive I am when driving it’s impossible to rule out that there could be an instance when my cars aids prevent an incident, or reduce its consequences.
