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.
1 THE CAR WILL SLIP INTO NEUTRAL WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS, EVEN IN TERRIBLE WEATHER. THIS MEANS NO GEAR IS ACTUALLY ENGAGED, AND IF AN EMERGENCY OCCURS IT HAS TO FIRST FIND A GEAR BEFORE YOU CAN UTILISE POWER. I CAN SEND ATTACH A VIDEO TO SHOW THE POINT IN FULL, IN VERY BAD WEATHER, BUT IT WILL TNO LET ME ATTACH IT HERE 2 WE HAVE DONE A CYBER ASSESSMENT ON THE CAR SND IT IS TERRIBLE, WE TESTED A HOSPITAL CHAIN IN VIRGINIA AND THIS SINGLE CAR WAS WORSE THAT OVER 10 HOSPITALS COMBINED. SYSTEMS CAN POTENTIALLY BE TURNED OFF CYBERLY. ONE VULNERABILITY WAS FIRST IDENTIFIED IN 1999, AND IT WAS PATCHED IN 1999 AND ON THIS BENTLEY IT STILL EXISTS. BOTH MAKE THIS CAR EXTREMELY UNSAFE.
