NHTSA Complaint #11021244 — 2017 BENTLEY BENTAYGA

BENTLEY LANE ASSIST - MAJOR ISSUE THE BENTLEY LANE ASSIST IS SUPPOSED TO KEEP YOU IN A LANE, HOWEVER TWICE NOW I HAVE BEEN TRAVELLING ON A TWO WAY ROAD AND IT HAS TAKEN ME WITH A VIOLENT STEERING MANOEUVRE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE ISSUE IS THAT WHEN YOU ARE IN A TWO LANE ROAD AND THE ROAD MARKINGS IN THE CENTRE LINE SPREAD APART FOR A LEFT TURN AREA, THE CAR WILL OFTEN FOLLOW THE OUTSIDE LINE INSTEAD OF THE INSIDE LINE, THAT LINE TAKING YOU INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. YOU THEN NEED TO VIOLENTLY YANK THE STEERING TO CORRECT HE LANE ASSIST. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY TO BENTLEY AFTER THE SECOND OCCASION AND THEY FAILED AGAIN TO FIND THE FAULT. THEY ASKED ME IF I COULD VIDEO IT HAPPENING - BUT THAT SEEMS TO MAKE A DANGEROUS SITUATION MORE DANGEROUS AND I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. THIS IS THE PROBLEM WITH SELF DRIVING CARS THAT ARE DESIGNED BADLY, IT MAKES YOU INCREDIBLY NERVOUS TO DRIVE AS YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT THE CAR IS GOING TO DO.
