The American Automobile Assn. (AAA) took a look at the performance of automatic lane keeping systems. They found that in simulated moderate to heavy rain, cars that employed ALKS veered from their lanes 69% of the time. Even worse, in testing at moderate speed (56 kph/~40 mph), about a third of the cars struck a static vehicle target (note, these targets look like a car, but are lightweight, fly apart on impact, and are quickly re-assembled).

If you have a car with one of these systems, what has been your experience?
