BMW

I own a BMW EV. The latest update dialed the “lane correction” to 11. If you do not use your signal light before exiting or switching lanes, the vehicle will steer you back in your lane. It is the most aggressive “lane correct” default behaviour of any vehicle I’ve driven so far, almost as if BMW knows what is required to train their drivers.

I don’t know how to say “boot” but for cars, in english. But you get the gist

That’s easy, it’s pronounced “Trunk”

Edit: It was a joke!

No I mean to… start ? start a car ? that sounds too simple,… but I don’t want to look in the dictionary

I think this is kind of on the edge of definition. Historically, you’d say “start” a car, but these days with cars practically being computers…I dunno. Hell, my car is just always on. I just get in and go, I don’t “start” it at all. Occasionally, it has an issue and I have to manually reboot it, so…

As a native English speaker, my answer is: I don’t know, it depends.

The automated steering motion doesn’t have a lot of torque and can easily be overpowered by just holding the wheel, at which point it will disengage.

This is a fundamental design principle for automated driving assistants, similar to how the pedals overrule cruise control.

Well thank you for this clarification

For what it’s worth, you’re 100% fine just saying using “start” haha. It’s just kind of weird with modern tech

Thanks I do appreciate it. Once in a while I stumble upon a combination of noun+verb that I’ve seldom (or never) encountered in the wild and I just stand there confused (because it’s so trivial!)

Of course! Also, I absolutely feel it, I’m learning a second language right now and it’s really opened my eyes to the utter weirdness of English, and more so just language in general
