There's a vid out there of somebody in a newer Renault doing just that in Europe. They ended up in a ditch when the system got confused with lane markers for an exit!
I tried out a mazda lane keep assist and after bouncing around the lane for a while it alarmed, flashed the instruments and told me a i needed a snooze off the road.
There is an upgrade to that non-solution: Just hock a lanyard onto that water bottle, and fix it onto the steering wheel. Adjust the bottle water quantity, in order to (a) keep the system engaged, and (b) not exert too much force on the steering wheel, in a way it changes direction. This might take some trial-and-error. DO NOT DO THIS! This is just an hypothesis. DO NOT EXECUTE THIS! This way it makes it really simple to engage and disengage the water bottle. There are no sensors on the steering wheel, as it would lead to a significant higher cost on the steering wheel, which would in turn increase the number of thefts of such item. Such approach works because the sensor is in the steering wheel hub, and that sensor need to sense that there is some resistance on the other end (you or the bottle), otherwise it will disengage the system.
I did this in my 2022 Camry. I stuck a Pepsi bottle on the wheel and drove to Florida like this. 18 hrs straight driving. Of course had to stop to go to the bathroom, eat, and fuel.
I got a new 2023 1500 Limited Longhorn Jan 2nd, 23. Every single time I try this junk, it takes a turn. Mild, but you're right, we ought to get full refunds for this option. It's dangerous to deadly. There may be sensors there, but they ain't working!!! To be right, I just push that assist button, it should work? I get the lane showing in the heads up, I ass u me its working. We start drifting left or right, I feel the feed back wanting to get back in my lane. It's worthless. And something else, what company is the gps data?! That junk is at least 23 years old. Connecting through Android and S23 is like moving into a new civilization! Good video, thanks. Ya point out light heartily that the assist is junk.
Just thinking……maybe two Nerf style base ball on each side. That water bottle, sorry lemonade bottle is a little heavy. Throwing it off balance just by a red hair…..a tad, a bit, a tidy, you get the idea….Right? But “DONT TRY THIS EVER”😜
Some systems are more aggressive than others, though. With the most aggressive setting on some models, it will legitimately steer you around turns and keep you in the lane with only a couple of fingers on it. Others, like this Dodge, are very weak and assume you are driving the vehicle/making small adjustments. So test as YMMV. OK.. a LOT. I've only seen two that actually are close to self-driving levels of intervention.
Boys will be boys and men will be men... It sure is a piece of advice we should never follow... Long drives sure does bring up some really interesting ideas though 😜. Stay safe Bob!
Do this with lane assist is the way how you die! Sooner or later! If you really dont want to drive, buy mercedes with Active Steering Assist. It can keep the line all the time without killng yourself.
Thanks Bob, Now all those Women who put their makeup on while driving down a busy road, will have another trick up their sleeve, to Scare me to death ! lol No, Really Ladies, Stop doing this !!!
Eureka! Not that the two of you are foolhardy like I am but I have investigated and researched and did the hard work; I now know how to bypass the time restrictions, at least for my Rav4, on Lane keeping (tracing). As you may know, if you take you hands off of the steering wheel for longer than about six seconds, the bitch in the box warns you to put your hands back onto the steering wheel and TURNS OFF lane tracing. Solution? Buy a small plastic bottle of Pom juice (the one that looks like a two ball snow man), drink the juice and then fill the bottle up with tap water. Place the bottle in the three o'clock position of your steering wheel, with the "waist" of the bottle resting on the cross bar. Test it out. It works for my Rav4, from the PA border all the way to I271. Loom mom, no hands. just monitored the lane tracing and traffic to stay safe. BE CAREFULL!!! My lane tracing looses concentration when white lines are weak or turn to black from tar. Only works with GOOD roads. Kinga will have a "shit" if I tried it with her for any length of time.
“DONT EVER DO THIS” 😆😂🤣😅👍✔️
Like this, a list of WiFi:
1. DoNotUseMyWiFi
2. HisPwdis33312
The German police would love something like that, at 200 km/h +
When your bored on a long drive and start looking for ways to mess with your vehicle's computer LOL

LOL, I love your humor Bob, damn keep the videos coming. LOLOLOL
Have to admit your good sense of humor!
Hey my sweetheart Bob ‼️‼️🤣🤣🤣😄😄😃Thank you for telling us how “not” to trick the system🤣🤣🤣🤣😄😀😃YOU ARE HILARIOUS 😇😇😇😇😇
I did this for a camry rental, it literally drove 90% of my 10hr road trip it was great.
Bob you crack me up!😂
Did this exact thing in my 2018 Accord on a road trip between CA and AZ 😄
Bob That lemonade is delicious… thanks for turning me onto it.
Is lane assist or lane centering. I know the older models just came with lane assist and not lane centering
great video.

My old Kia Telluride did this when I accidentally put my water bottle in the steering wheel but my new one doesn't.

I feel more safe driving with my knee’s then i do with that lane assist nonsense
Case study for "never ever EVER trust new tech to work as advertised!" Words of wizdumb from a guy who makes a living in tech.
I see you baby 👹

If I didn't understand your sense of humor I probably would've shit myself a little at the end of this video🤣
i like the end the was funny as shit lol

Hey, sometimes a man just needs to eat a sandwich! Safety third 😂

Nice video, greting the Nederlands
Knight rider!!! It steering itself. Wow
On the plus side if that big truck falls off the road at 90mph whatever you hit it'll punch a hole through it and come out the other side......😮
Video Bob version of Desert Bus
If you do this you absolutely cannot take your eyes off the road
Driving in the middle of the desert… In the middle of nowhere trying to get a sandwich😂
i don't have lane assist, i just use my knees when a want a sarnie.
Boys will be boys and men will be men... It sure is a piece of advice we should never follow... Long drives sure does bring up some really interesting ideas though 😜. Stay safe Bob!
Highly illegal… I remember people doing this with their Teslas and then falling asleep and crashing.
😂😅 nice
Don't ever do this, but here's how you do it.
LOL!
ford lane assist, is scary when the lanes are barely marked, its likes to jump lanes
I did it with my cell phone on my car, not that I should.
Don't do this but you did it anyway. Lol!😂
Only for education purposes 😂
Looks bloody dangerous to me 🥺
shitiest lane keep ever
Trying to eat a sandwich 😂😂😂😂😂

OK I won’t do it LOL and I just found out we’re neighbors

Would not want a car or truck like that. To much crap.
