The lane assist in my car will pull me out of the lane I am driving in and into an adjacent turn lane when a turn lane opens up. It happens most often when I am on a two-lane road, with a double yellow line on my left and then when a long space without markings followed by dotted lines for the turn lane opens up, the car abandons using the double yellow line as the guide and pulls the car into the turn lane. This happens most often when a lane opens to the right but can happen on the left side as well. According to the dealership, car must be traveling at least 40 MPH for the lane assist to activate. I can observe on the heads-up display when the car changes its sensor focus to pull the steering and car into the turn lane. I believe this is a very unsafe feature, as it could lead to crashes, overcorrection, etc. Because I am aware of this issue, I am able to correct the course of the car, but the software should not be pulling the car out of the intended driving lane into an adjacent lane. (It can also make the driver look as though driving drunk, because it swerves in and out of lanes, which can put the driver at risk in another way, because of the state of police interactions these days. The car is available for inspection if needed. I have reported the issue to the dealership and AUDI USA on multiple occasions. One person at AUDI USA said the car should not be operating that way; that person is no longer with the company. The people at the dealership have looked into it and say that it is operating as expected, even though I have sent multiple videos showing the car pulling out of the lane and what the lane assist is doing and the sounds the car is making. They have not been able to reproduce it (because they also have not driven the car on similar types of roads with similar markings). Those same people say they hate the feature because it doesn’t work well and so they turn it off in their own Audis. The heads-up display alerts that the issue is happening.
