Hmm. I think lane-assist probably makes people worse at driving. Anything that lets people pay less attention on the road does, it trains drivers to be less alert. Adaptive cruise and automatic braking are probably a net benefit but “car safety” is not trending in the right direction.
Despite all these “safety features” accidents are far more common now than 20 years ago. “Driver aids” do nothing but encourage bad behaviour, better off just PAYING ATTENTION to the 2 ton steel cage your throwing down a concrete cheese grater at 60+mph…
