Let me start out by saying that I love the Lane Centering feature on my Mach-E. For the most part it works great, and I can't wait until the hands-free option becomes available (assuming that any of the highways near me will be included in the pre-mapped zones).
Having said that, I need to caution other drivers that the feature only seems to work safely when there are clearly visible lines on both the left and the right of the car.
Twice now I've had the car attempt to swerve into the ditch beside the road. Luckily I was paying attention and was able to grab the steering wheel. In both cases the only visible line was the center line. The road itself was clear, but the snow to the right of the road overlapped the road a little bit, covering the line on the right side of the lane.
In both cases the road was perfectly straight. I have no idea why the car thought that the road was turning to the right.
In short, just be careful with the Lane Centering feature. I'm sure it will get better over time, but just make sure that you are paying attention, especially in cases where both lines are not clearly visible.
