I dread what cars are slowly turning into. Yet most people are still myopically focused on the drawbacks of touchscreens instead of hardware knobs.

Isn’t this avoided by using your turn signal?
That’s how Mazda’s works
Maybe there's a good reason the safety system of the car is fighting you on this
I also like that if I am following someone slow with ACC it starts to accelerate the very second that I turn on the blinker so I can start passing. My old car would make you wait until it could read that the lane was clear.
The only system that I objectively dont like is the 'travel assist' (lane centering) because I do not like the lane position that it prefers.
This seems like a recipe for disaster when you are in a situation in which you need to respond quickly to an unexpected circumstance.
I thought it might be annoying when I first got a car with LKA, but I've yet to have any complaints about it.
I think that's an odd behavior. As far as I'm concerned, using the signal is just as much of part of a lane change as is turning the wheel. Be in the habit of using it every time and you'll never forget it.
Especially as a pedestrian I think a lot of drivers are basically blind to your existence and then don't bother to signal turns because if they don't notice you then why would they need to warn anyone of what they're about to do with their 6000 pound metal box? And besides, are pedestrians really people anyway?
In my experience it does sometimes make errors, but it also sometimes makes very good assistance, so much so that I've come to depend on it. Have you ever noticed that the dings and chimes are much more frequent when you're looking away from the road?
Rather than being like other commenters telling you to use your turn signals, I'm going to take another approach. I'm going to ask.
Why aren't you using your turn signals?
