Personal Consumer Issues • Best suv lane-keeping systems?

These systems are far from perfect. An example from a drive this past weekend:

I was on the freeway with a car ahead of me - it was maybe 1 car length ahead. A motorcyclist started passing us, straddling the lane divider: between the cars. To give him room, I steered to the right side of my lane. The lane-keeping assist reacted by nudging the car back to, and past the center of the lane, heading for the motorcycle. I had to manhandle the wheel to make sure it didn't overshoot and take-out the guy on the motorcycle.

I don't think motorcyclists are aware of the dangers of these systems.
Some systems offer "collaborative driving" and won't fight you when you take over steering. Hopefully this will become more common.
Hopefully these systems will be backward compatible - with a software change (but I doubt Lexus will offer that on my RX).

BTW - on the same trip I had a similar situation when I moved over in the lane, to the left, due to a car on the side of the road. So this feature doesn't seem well implemented now. However, adaptive radar cruise control is faaantastic.
Your Lexus must push the steering wheel a lot harder than my Honda. If I change lanes without using the signal for whatever reason mine wiggles the steering wheel and gives a slight nudge back to the original lane, which would re-center the truck in the original lane if I'm not steering against it. However, that in no way over powers my steering input and the truck still easily changes lanes with no issues if I'm actively steering it over the line. Absolutely no man handling required on my Ridgeline, YMMV.
