Lane Keep Assist Software Update 2024.19.04

[CaptainMRSir]

Specifically on my screen: 2024.19.04(aa34ce0e)

After the recent update, I've noticed a new feature that I don't see listed in the notes. My R1T now has a (not very efficient or robust) lane-keep system. At first, I thought it was only when cruise control was set, but I also noticed w/o cruise control. This is very different from "Highway Assist" which only works on interstates and a few WA State Routes.

As stated, it does not work well and it is not dependable, but on most major roads, if I drift one way or the other, a dotted yellow line appears on that side of the small screen and the steering wheel auto corrects. This is not a the point where I'd call it a safety feature because it may start to take me into a gentle curve and then stop guiding. I'll try and get a picture of this.

I've seen this feature in other vehicles I've rented, for example (Tesla or Toyota Venza). In each of these vehicles, it works almost as a full assist

"Highway Assist" works well but wish it worked on secondary roads and more like the features mentioned above.

Is anyone else experiencing this? AIso, do you know if is it still under development, hopefully? It definitely needs improvement.

Rivian has always had Lane Keep Assist (LKA), but it was literally the first thing I had the delivery person help me disable, so I’m not sure how diff’t it may look in the most recent SW update(s).

Interesting, didn't know this after almost 2 yrs!. Will try and look it up and will likely disable since it barely functions as such.

Yes from day 1... and I turned it off as soon as I took delivery.

We gave it about 2 weeks to try to get used to it but gave up and 86'd it.

 

[CaptainMRSir]

where can I turn it off? Surprised that it's been there since day 1 and operates so poorly.

[CaptainMRSir]

perfect, thank you

Yeah, it isn't really "lane keep assist" as much as it is "lane departure warning with some slight steering input applied if you go way over the line" - I, too, disabled it within a day or two.

My Mach-E has a similar "kinda-sorta nudges you" mode in addition to the "actually keeps you centered in the lane" mode. The "nudge" ones are always terrible.

Ugh so warning and assist are no longer separate choices? Here's 2024.11.03, the warning dongs don't bother me as much as pulling me over the center line or into the left turn lane.

I tried it for the first time last week and ended up disabling it within a day. It would vibrate on turns even when I was centered and would alway push me further to the left curb, off-center. Not a dealbreaker, as I have had it on all cars I’ve owned in the past decade and have never used it.

Oh yeah, I had forgotten about that. I disabled it on day 1 too, it was very annoying.

I turned mine off too, kept trying to swerve me into other cars or off the road.

It sees lane lines that don't exist.

You can disable it in the Driver+ settings.

I’m fine keeping it on with the normal setting. The early setting was nuts.

I guess I haven’t experienced it any differently in my other vehicles. This is pretty much how it works in polestars and rams too.
