Default New instrument cluster photos from ring - What is this "lane" icon?

Performance testing aside and all the cool track display updates (much better than my C7), I noticed this lane icon at the bottom center. What is this? Lane departure warning, or super cruise type stuff?

On my M2, it stands for 'lane keeping assist'.. Its a late departure warning icon.

Blind spot detection and lane departure assist perhaps?

Yup, lane departure warning. In every car I have ever had equipped with this, you can turn it off. Both my Tahoe and my BMW M4 has it and they are turned off because they are annoying as hell.

Looks just like the lane departure indicator on my wife’s Caddy XT5, in which it shows up in the heads up display as well.

Yup. If you deviate from your lane without a turn signal it will turn yellow. On a Cadillac it will also rumble a butt cheek. If the system gets in a panic, it will rumble both butt cheeks. Hopefully that trait does not make it into the C8.

Is it just lane departure, or indicative of super cruise or something like that?

Suspect it's the same as the C7 in that it changes based on temp.

I’m kinda interested in why there is a V8 icon... does that mean it has cylinder deactivation? 😭

Cylinder deactivation is almost a given considering the CAFE standards. I mean...unless you want a 4 cylinder Vette...

Its lane keep assist. In the tahoe it will turn the wheel if you start to drift. It sucks and I turn it off because it really doesn't work all that well. It's done more harm to me than good actually, almost put me into another car when they had a construction lane shift...

Welp it looks like a lane keep assist. I was hoping for more safety features like blind spot warning but this. I don't even really get the concept of it, it just shows how many people cant stay in a straight line in my opinion.

28psi oil pressure sure doesn't indicate cold motor to me.

Why not? These new motors have variable geometry pumps. They only make the psi the motor needs.

Oh, you're familiar with the oil pump design on the C8, my bad.

I'm sure you'll have something to say about the 185 degree water temp too. Zero chance that's a cold motor.

Wow. First it was automatic only, now it appears to have electronic nannies to babysit inattentive drivers?
