I do wonder psychologically how drivers will interact with it.
Like let's say this implemented it properly where the car had the mentality of a German driver. So the car is really big on passing on the left, and getting over. Where it would only suggest passing on the right if it was really necessary.
If this car was used by a typical PNW person (who doesn't seem to care) would it start to impact them? Would that behavior rub off on them?
Theoretically it's possible to design a lane-guidance system that knew from data collected what a particular exit was like in terms of traffic patterns. Where it could make sure you were in the correct lane for maximum efficiency.
So instead of it being just any normal spouse it was a really intelligent one. Where you learn over time to simply trust the AI.
For me I'm not sure what impact it will have.
A few months ago I heard about an app that supposedly knew what lane you were in, and what lane you needed to be in to get to your destination. I loved the idea of this, and was bummed that it was android only. I tend to be someone who simply wants to know which lane I need, and I don't want any unnecessary drama.
I hate being in lane, and realizing at the last moment that I really needed to be in a different lane. I don't panic if I'm not, and if I can't safely get over I simply miss my exit.
I don't know how much better V9 will be as it currently tells me which lanes I need to be in.
But, it's often telling me that a bit later than I really need it.
Where I live there are huge backups at certain exits. So you really have to be in the correct lane or you become this annoying person who slows down other lanes to get over.
