Long story short, I managed to pull off into a rest area, and figured out how to disarm the "safety driver assist" function...thank goodness!
But truly, I simply do not understand how these new features can purport to make vehicles "safer." Seems to me the more features added to insulate drivers from the act of driving will only make folks who utilize these features worse (less safe) drivers!
