2019 Audi SQ5, exact same problem, had to disable it too. I really wonder if these non-Tesla manufacturers are getting pre-fab'd chipsets from the same place. It's really an impediment rather than driver assist.

I've noticed that it steers by itself pretty well on long curves, but anything other than and I'm weaving in the lane and begging for a roadside sobriety check.

That's exactly the case. The 'strains' I'm aware of are Subaru/Hitachi, MobilEye, NVIDIA, Bosch, Continental and there shouldn't be more than 3 other than these. Most car manufacturers buy one of these or pay one of them to install another of them, as a camera that speaks in steering angles. You'd notice a lot of those camera units look identical across brands.

I think yours is MobilEye(same as Tesla AP1).

Have you double checked the settings for lane keep assist on your Audi? I have a 2018 Q5, and you have the options between "early" correction and "late" correction. If it's set on "late" correction, then it seems to bounce between lanes as your described.

When it's set to "early" correction, it indefinitely stays centered (assuming it can see the lanes).

Interesting, I haven’t seen options for those. I’ll check in the settings tomorrow, thanks!
