The Culver City Model S NTSB investigation started me thinking about how my Kona EV nags me to place my hands on the steering wheel when I HAVE my hands on the steering wheel.The NTSB excerpts from the crash being shared by articles from media like enclosed CNET below have me concerned the OEM's algorithm programming, sensors don't match real world use.[1][2] In my Kona, I lightly hold my steering wheel at the 10,and 2,or a combination of the 8,and 2...Whether using ACC, or just driving without it activated due to our constant LKA being on. I receive the nag steering wheel hold not detected,LKA is off... until I literally death grip a portion of the steering wheel.
What IF I was in a crash during a scenario where my hands were ON the steering wheel,but Hyundai's algorithm ,sensors don't recognize the pressure as it's below THEIR set threshold?
My hope,as autonomy advances,the OEMs will update, improve their steering wheel algorithm,and sensors to "sense" a normal pressure range between men,and women. Understanding there will be drivers who want to "hack" the system to defeat them. This is different than having incorrect data. The patent link for steering wheel with hand pressure sensor document's interesting, reference: 0038, 0039, 0041.[3]
1." Even worse, his hands weren't on the wheel at all for the last 3 minutes and 41 seconds before the crash."
2. Autopilot was engaged in the crash of a Tesla Model S into a firetruck in LA, NTSB says
