We ordered LDW on my wife's 5 series because she has a tendency to pull the wheel left at times when looking right or reaching to adjust the I-drive. This is due to spinal surgery, which has caused some nerve damage, And also made it difficult to rotate her neck around far enough to fully check her blind spot. There have been a few times when the LDW has avoided a close call, but for most people, the benefit is dubious. I keep mine switched off, and just don't drive fatigued.
On the other hand, the blind spot assist has kept us from cutting people off on numerous occasions. Sometimes you can't see another car in or entering your blind spot no matter how careful you are. In my opinion, this option is a lot more useful.

I'd like it on my next car, because I do occasionally have to push through that mid-afternoon, monotonous hwy drive where um....my alertness may not be "optimum" for about 15-20min.

IMO systems like these are solutions looking for problems...
BMW offers it to keep up with MB. MB offers it to market hugely profitable cars to rich, fearful people. |
