At a recent track day I was having a blast out there in my analog car. At the driver's meting before the event the instructor admonished everyone to read their owners manual to turn off a lot of the anti crash systems and nannies. He said many cars will think they going to crash and kill the power, and applying the brakes when need to accelerate. The crash avoidance systems can be a real problem on track.
Now I admit, a track day is not much related to driving on the street, or at least no one should drive like that on the street, but lots of computer assisted anti crash systems on modern cars can indeed change your car's steering, throttle and brakes against your driver input and what you are trying to do.
Many cars now have lane assist and will steer the car back into your lane.
