Agreed. My wife’s Kia practically lives at the dealer for repairs these days and each time they put us in a new loaner I’m amazed at how good their aids are, even on base models. The lane centering can be enabled anytime and nails the car to the center of the lane regardless of stripe condition. Doesn’t turn the lane centering off as soon as you tap the brake. Everything is very responsive and it doesn’t bug you constantly. Works well in stop and go too. Like you said, car practically drives itself. Ford has been a huge disappointment in that regard. I hate that it only works when ACC is on otherwise you just get LKA, if you’re lucky, and as stated it has been weak and unreliable for me. The lane centering is really picky about stripes and constantly disengages or nannys to jiggle the wheel even when my hands are at 3 and 9 the whole time. I can drive uninterrupted with just one hand pulling slightly down on the side of the wheel but that’s neither comfortable for me nor as safe as having both hands on ready to intervene when necessary.
