Well, that's kind of what I'm saying. That's insane. In my truck I wouldn't even describe the lane assist as a nudge. It's just barely enough to be perceivable. Certainly nothing that's going to make me question anything other than if I'm over the line.
You've become conditioned to consider a "nudge" to be lane assist helpfully pushing on the steering wheel, to move you toward the center of the lane. Your muscle memory reacts to such a nudge by accepting it, allowing it.
30 years of driving has conditioned me to consider a "nudge" to be an indication that something is pushing on the car, moving me away from where I intend to be. My muscle memory reacts to such a nudge by immediately arresting that push and reversing it.
No, I haven't been conditioned into anything. 38 years of driving taught me to be able to tell what is happening because I'm aware of the road. I know I didn't just drive off the edge of the road, because I know where the road is and I know where my tires are.
I've had lane assist in my truck for 2 years and I learned what it feels like. However, it's clear that different manufacturers implemented it differently. All I can say is, it appears Honda got it right.
Different cars have different levels of pushing back. My in laws' Subaru twisted hard like bumping a curb while my Honda was a slight bit of resistance.
