A question many have asked is: why can't lane keeping assist be permanently disabled? The answer is: because European regulations require it. Since July 2022, all new vehicle models must be equipped with this ADAS, along with others that must be active when the vehicle is started.

The driver can manually deactivate them if desired, but this only applies to the current driving cycle: once the vehicle is turned off, upon restarting, the system must be available again.

However, manufacturers have some leeway in deciding how to implement the deactivation. Some offer a physical button to quickly disable the system, while others hide the control in various levels of the touchscreen menu, making it more cumbersome.
