UK drivers disable tech like lane-keep assist for safety concerns, despite its intent to prevent accidents. Survey by Which? shows 54% find features distracting or flawed.

British cars have EU-designed software. Yet, these systems can prove problematic on UK roads, causing mistrust. Turning them off might jeopardize safety, but many choose this to feel more secure.
