Lane tracking and alignment
Can someone explain to me if they think lane tracking at high speeds would compensate for any slight alignment offsets? I was just thinking about what lane tracking would do if the car was constantly pulling to one direction when you take your hands off the wheel.
Thanks

Lane tracking isn't auto pilot, you know.

Oh, I think if you are referring to the need to apply some left (or right) pressure to steering, you are mistaking road bias for aligment issues.
Roads are biased to accomplish drainage. That's simple. It should not worry you. You need to drive the car . . . alignment will not keep it in the center of the lane, and lane tracking will certainly not keep it there, either. Drive! That's why the car has a steering wheel!
